This is an I-Heart podcast. My boyfriend's professor is way too friendly, and now I'm seriously suspicious. Wait a minute, Sam. Maybe her boyfriend's just looking for extra credit. Well, Dakota, luckily, it's back to school week on the OK Storytime podcast, so we'll find out soon. This person writes, my boyfriend's been hanging out with his young professor a lot. He doesn't think it's a problem, but I don't trust her. Now he's insisting we get to know each other, but I just want her gone.

Now, hold up. Isn't that against school policy? That seems inappropriate.

Welcome back to Bachelor Happy Hour.

I'm Joe. And I'm Serena. And today we are doing something very different because a friend of ours. Pilot Pete is coming on. What we are going to do is we watched his first episode as of being the Bachelor. And we're going to recap that episode because why not? on anything else to do it. It's going to be fun. But before we do, we have some, a pretty big announcement. I was kind of shocked when I saw it. I saw it on Twitter. Rob Mills tweeted it that the

golden bachelorette is Joan from Gary's season, which is the only season. It does make it really easy when it's like, oh, Joan from the golden bachelor because there's only been one season of the golden bachelor. It's like very easy to keep track of contestants. There's only been one season for now but talked to us in a few years and it's going to be not as easy yeah 100% so what do you think about joan i think it's great honestly she would have been in like some of the people that i would assume they were considering for golden bachelor i mean she's ridiculously beautiful she has you know she's lost her husband i know her and gary connected on that so we did learn a lot about her and her story despite the fact that she laughed

in like episode three, which was really early on in the season. But I feel like she did make such an impact. And she left because her daughter was struggling with her mental health after having a baby. And she went to support her daughter. So I think that really touched a lot of the viewers with that story. And like she's a mom, you know? And she talks about taking care of her kids, taking care of her parents, that like in between era. So like, I don't know.

I just feel like she's someone that like I feel like I know a lot about considering she was only in three episodes. Yeah like usually I would be like no she went home week three like there's there's no way but like you did really get to know her from like her one-on-one all the way to the women tell all slash finale so yeah I mean that's fair after listening to you talk I was like oh yeah I know all that that is actually a lot to know I I think Gary would have chosen her yeah you had said that before I thought she was like the heavy favorite just just when we talked to Gary the first time just him defining the woman that he is into it seemed like she checked all those boxes um yeah she's she makes sense because just you know like she's attractive i see a lot of men in their late 60s and 70s that would like love to date her right yeah 100% she's beautiful like yeah like I feel like when those guys were in their teens like that was the girl that was all over Sports Illustrated and was like the model was like the blonde hair blue eyes woman yeah right I totally agree so I see a lot of guys going crazy for her yeah it's interesting I wonder I wonder after Gary split if he ever reached back out to Joan I thought about that after the divorce I've wondered if he wondered if he's He's gone and DM'd any of the women from his season and been like, hey, you want to try again? I mean, why not?

I mean. Why not? Yeah. But apparently it wasn't Joan unless, you know, Gary decides to roll up night one and be a contestant this time around. How many guys do you think they're going to be able to get? I mean, I think a full cast, you know, like what I don't know. What was the full cast for?

I want to say it was around 25. 20 something. Yeah, around like mid-20s. Now, what do we think, Joe? Jones type is. See, Gary and Joan were kind of giving like siblings or dating. You know that that thing where it's like, are they siblings or are they dating? Because I kind of look alike.

I could see her being into like a similar type to Gary, like tall, blonde. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. Both golden leads are golden or actually golden. Yeah. I don't know if that's a coincidence or not, but like it really does look great in the promos.

Yeah. when they put them yeah the backdrop side by side they're like really like the man and the male and female version of each other in a way wow siblings are dating yeah definitely i definitely get that they um but yeah she and she had left because her daughter really needed her and then she went home yeah how old is joan she's she's in her early 60s i want to say she's like 61 yeah yeah i think uh yeah i think she's gonna be good i'm i'm excited i'm very excited i'm more excited for golden bachelorette than i was for golden bachelor because you want to see all the 16 70 year old men yeah yeah i'm very intrigued by the casting for the show i just don't know how they're going to get these guys they did such a good job with um the

casting for golden bachelor too and i feel like that was a big question mark of like what's this going to be like who are they going to get for this show so i'm really curious like when they released that like group photo cast of women like i'm waiting for that group photo cast of that and yeah me too and joan is joan lives in california right she's a local californian is she i think so i'm like i'm like pretty sure and we met joan we had the chance to meet her um we met her when we were at the first time we meet her was in the mansion right yeah we went to the golden bachelor finale um party that was hosted at the bachelor mansion also i stand correct at joan lives in maryland yeah when you said california i was like oh that doesn't sound right

She looks like she lives in California. She does. She looks like an L.A. girl. Yeah. But, yeah, we met her at the mansion. She was great. We had a lot of fun with her. I think she's going to be like a really fun lead and very capable of like carrying the show. She, all the women were were very chatty.

But she, she was, she was very chatty. She was very opinionated on what she. So chatty. Her and I were sitting in the fireplace for like an hour together trying to warm up. She was the one that, like, had, like, this idea of, like, they should change the format. Oh, yeah. She was, like, pitching things. I forgot about that.

Yeah, Joan. But she's not going to want to change the format now. She was pitching things to us and we're like, Joan, you got some great ideas, girl, but we have no power here. Like, we are not the people to be talking to. Like, you got to get in front of some execs if you want to pitch these ideas. Yeah, I remember that. Yeah. She told me it was like, like, I think it was the idea was to have like multiple leads, kind of symbol.

to a Rachel and Gabby situation. But I think I think it was like three leads and she was telling me this. And she's like, well, what do you think? I'm like, well, I mean, sure, great. But like, what do you want me to do about it? Well, she's just sharing. I can't know. But the way it was the way she presented it to us, I was like, yeah, we have no power.

Yeah. But she has a lot of ideas about the show and things that they can do to like, you know, make it fun and new and excessive. exciting and successful. So I feel like she's going to be very involved in her own journey and her own process. I honestly, I think she's going to be great. I think.

And I think she's the right choice. Like I really do. I think it makes a lot of sense. And yeah, I think it's so important to to choose a lead that will be desirable. Right? Do you mean like looks? Do you mean personality?

Do you mean... I think looks. I think... Joe's like, they better be hot where it's not going to work. Let's just call it what it is. Attraction is like the first thing.

No, look, every lead in the Bachelor franchise, I would say almost everyone cast, but like specifically the leads, like it's like exciting and fun when they're really attractive. Like I think there was a big response to Joey because like girls loved him

like viewers loved him the girls were going crazy for Joey like girls were like I have a crush on Joey I'm watching my boyfriend every week on TV like I think that's good for the fandom for the audience you know what I mean yeah they want to watch and be like it's also like a luxurious fun sexy show

so you want to like lean into that with your cast right I agree I yeah so Joan Joan Joan Joan well we'll see We're going to have her, definitely have her on the podcast. We, I believe we had her on before. We definitely had her on, I think we had her on during, like, the women tell all. We did. She was in our, like, speed dating interview after Women Tell All, where we had her and a couple other women do some, some quick interview.

So if you want to listen to Joan chat, you can go back and listen to that episode, but I'm sure that we will have her on sometime in the future. Definitely sometime. Hopefully sooner than later. Hopefully. I'm sure we'll get her on right before. for her season and then I'm sure we'll get around a few times during her season. I really hope we get some of those guys on is that's going to be funny. Yeah, it's going to be good.

All right. Let's get into pilot Pete's season night one and we are going to ask Pete a bunch of questions about what he was thinking on his season like he did get rid of. We just found out every girl that went on Pete's season who was a flight attendant, he got rid of night one. Serena thinks he did it on purpose. I said it's a coincidence. I think he definitely did it on purpose.

We also were talking earlier, and I think other than grocery store Joe, Pilot Pete might have the most notable nickname in the franchise. Other than that grocery store Joe, wow. I mean, yours is a pretty notable nickname, you know? Yeah, no. Yeah, we'll talk to him about traders as well and everything else he's got going on. Yeah, lots to talk to him about his night one episode was a little unique. It was a three-hour season premiere.

the first half was the traditional night one getting out of the limo format and then the second half of the episode was the first week of dates but which is insane i can't believe they ever i had no idea that they ever did that me either and i watched it but i totally forgot we were halfway through the episode like we're already at the rose ceremony what's going on yeah that was pretty crazy but we're going to focus on the night one limo outfits rose ceremony first impression rose portion he had a great cast of women so much to talk about it was a really good premiere episode so i think we're starting off with a good one well it's also i i didn't watch this first episode i didn't i don't think i watched peter's season um but knowing a lot of the

women that are on his season and like seeing them again is actually pretty pretty funny yeah for reference um after peter season there wasn't a paradise season that year because of the pandemic so all of his women that went on Paradise were actually on Joe and I's season of Paradise as well. Except for Victoria Fuller was on the following. Yes. Well, yes. But I would say the majority of the girls, like the next season of Paradise after Peter's season was the season of paradise that we were on. So we're going to go through some of the highlights of this episode from night one, some of the standout moments and kind of talk about some of the women and where they are now.

My boyfriend's professor is way too friendly, and now I'm seriously suspicious. Oh, wait a minute, Sam. Maybe her boyfriend's just looking for extra credit. Well, Dakota, it's back to school week on the OK Storytime podcast, so we'll find out soon. This person writes, my boyfriend has been hanging out with his young professor a lot. He doesn't think it's a problem, but I don't trust her. Now, he's insisting we get to know each other, but I just want her gone. Now, hold up.

Isn't that against school policy? That sounds totally inappropriate. Well, according to this person, this is her boyfriend's former professor, and they're the same age. And it's even more likely that they're cheating. He insists there's nothing between them. I mean, do you believe him? Well, he's certainly trying to get this person to believe him because he now wants them both to meet.

So, do we find out if this person's boyfriend really cheated with his professor or not? To hear the explosive finale, listen to the OK Storytime podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. I never envision being with a woman. I'll just be honest. I'm Jamel Hill, host of the Sports and Politics Podcasts, Spolitics. On this week's episode, I'm joined by Basketball. legend, Candice Parker, who stops by to discuss her candid new book, The Can Do Mindset, in which she shares why she waited two years into marriage to come out.

Like when I close my eyes at night, every night, I was like, I need to find my prince charming. Like it was never a princess. Like that never entered into my mind. But, you know, as I learned, sometimes life gives you things wrapped in a package that you didn't expect it. And that was just, you know, and honestly, it took me a long time to be okay with myself. Make sure to listen to this week's episode of Spolitics on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. Hi, my name is Enya Yumanzoor. And I'm Drew Phillips.

And we run a podcast called Emergency Intercom. If you're a crime junkie and you love crimes, we're not the podcast for you. But if you have unmedicated ADHD Oh my God, perfect. And want to hear people with mental illness, psychobabble. Yes, yes. Then Emergency Intercom is the podcast for you. Open your free IHeartRadio app.

Search Emergency Intercom and listen now. So, limo entrances, who to you stood out the most if you just to pick one girl? Limo entrances. Because I have one. You know what? Alea probably, and I know that she was the first one, which may be why. But I was not surprised. I guess I just didn't remember that she was the first person out of the limo because she never ended up back on Paradise.

And I don't know how far she makes it on the season. But yeah, she was the first one out. And she did the note from her grandmother Rose. Her grandmother's name is Rosemary. Peter's grandmother's name is Rose as well. So I thought it was a good way to start the episode in terms of at limo actresses. What about you? Yeah, I was shocked at that she was the first one that they showed that they shown.

But I think she later in the season ended up having like drama that had started in the pageant world with another one of the girls. But even then usually the first person out of the limo isn't usually someone that was involved in drama. It's usually some of that's like either goes deep with the lead or I'm sorry. What? Coast deep. You know what I mean? Goes deep in the season. Yep.

But usually it isn't any, it isn't drama related. It's either like heartbreak or like a love story. Yes. Or just someone that they think, I feel like the first person out of the limo is someone that they see really hitting it off with the lead. Yeah. She is very bubbly and beautiful. So maybe they were like, hmm, this girl might end up bringing drama or she might

might really work out with Peter. She also had one of the better limo entrance gimmicks, I would say. Yeah. A lot of the girls I felt like were either coming in on like a car or a plane or it was just like a classic, nice to meet you. There wasn't as many like, I don't know, little like gifts and stuff like that. Yeah. Yeah.

So I thought hers was one of like the better entrances. It was, we'll get into it, but it was a very chaotic night one. It was. I felt like there was a lot going on. A lot of really strong personalities. Like the casting for this season was great. All the women are like really, really beautiful and great personalities across the board. Yeah.

Super excited to be there. I don't know what it was about Peter that attracted this group of women, but it's definitely an all-star group. So I would say for me, out the limo standout would be, you know, And it's easier to say no because we we know what happens. Yeah, I mean, don't blame us for hindsight bias, guys. I'd say Madison Pruitt. She seemed out of everyone just like the most confident. She was very confident.

She had like this beautiful red low back dress on. She came out in like a big paper plane. Yeah. Which obviously like so many of the entrances were plain. But usually like someone that comes out with like a gimmick like flying a plane. It's always kind of like, eh, like that's awkward and cheesy. Usually you're kind of like cringing when they're doing something silly like that. But she did it so it was like really cute.

And yeah, her delivery was just so confident. Yeah. It just like worked. It was like, okay, like I get like, I instantly am like, okay, this girl's going to be here a long time. Yeah. There's no way that she didn't immediately stand out to him from that entrance. Yeah. Like I, we should actually ask him about what, who his standout entrances were.

and I bet you she's in it Yeah this is good Because now we can come over questions for Pete I know this is like Hopefully he remembers I know it's been a few years I would say the two biggest themes For the limo entrances overall though

Were he's a pilot There's a whole bunch of flight attendants Everyone's doing like piloty flight things And then also the windmill And like sex jokes Yeah Yeah Like we saw D'Andra came out with

Like dressed as a windmill we saw Victoria Fuller like not like tell a joke that she was like regretting mid joke and then panicked and freaked out it's so funny seeing Victoria back on her first season yeah because she has been such an icon in the franchise for so long and I would say that her like confidence and has like grown over the years yeah I think that happens with a lot of of people that go on the show. Definitely. Or it's the opposite. You get more insecure because people are analyzing you and picking you apart. Yeah. Also, Hannah Brown comes back.

I don't know if we've ever seen. That has a lead ever come back? I'm sure I'm sure elite has come back at some point, night one. But out of the limel, it was kind of, it was kind of shocking. Yeah. Right? I'm trying to think back if that's ever happened where, like, Like a lead has shown back up.

I don't think in that way, though, because, like, Peter became the Bachelor, obviously, like, a few months. This is being filmed a few months after his breakup with Hannah Brown. Yeah. It was, like, a really dramatic breakup. They ended things on good terms. There definitely still seemed to be, like, some chemistry there. And the reason why I think it works and why they were able to get her back is she was single, too. She was single.

Like, her and her engagement hadn't worked out. Yeah. She was single at the time. And I think that's why it was kind of. So scandalous because she came out of the limo almost as if she was like, like, you're watching it being like, is she joining the cast? Like what's happening? You can tell Peter's like eyes lit up.

He's excited to see her. I also just think like you're meeting so many new people that first night. And seeing someone familiar is so comforting. Or even someone that's like been through this experience. I remember thinking that with Katie Thurston and Blake Moynes, like there was this extra level of comfort because they had both been through the experience before versus Peter having been through it and now meeting like so many new people who have never been through it before. Absolutely. I agree 100%. Do you think so Hannah was was currently on Dancing with the Stars?

Yeah. Well, they were filming Peter's season. While they were filming Peter's season. Do you think if she wasn't doing that show, she would have jumped in on this season? Well, I mean, so the second part of the episode, Chana shows up on the date and they do have a conversation that kind of feels like he's asking her to be on the season and stay. I think she might have. I think there was definitely feeling still there on both sides. But at the same time, I think it's for the best that she did it because she would have just had so much of an advantage in a way. It would have been like how do you navigate that relationship While also navigating like all these brand new relationships

Like they'd slept together They were open about that I don't think she would have came back No and I don't think I think they were toying with the idea more Because they knew it couldn't happen So it was like kind of this like What If you did even though you can't

I think it's one thing for a former lead To go on Paradise Which the first time we seen that was Becca but I but to have a former lead return but it's not a former lead it's his former yeah yeah but I'm just saying in general like have a former lead return as a contested I just don't see a world where they do that like if she was single unless they do um an all-star season oh my god what and people yeah once they do like a bachelor all-star season of people that are still single like a paradise season where it's like all single people who are but who are like

way down like from the past or who are former leads just you have to be a lead I don't know if there's enough single former leads for that probably not but but it's a fun idea it's a fun concept yeah I think if Hannah Brown was single and she wanted to go on like Matt James's season well that they're friends but you know what I'm saying like if she wanted to go on a season of someone that she didn't know like Zach's season that's one thing but it's different for her to go on Peter's season after he was already on her season it's like well you may as well just cut the cameras and go date if that's what you're looking for. Speaking of familiar faces, Kelly Flanagan,

I think this is also the first time we've seen this happen. And maybe the last since. That they pre-met? That they pre-met. No, I feel like that's happened before. Really? Yeah. I feel like I know, and I know who, but I can't,

I can't think of it. But I feel like, I feel like that's happened before. I feel like I don't think that's the first time. Okay. Oh, it happened on my season. Oh. It happened. I was barely on it, so, but I remember there was a guy there from Minnesota who had met Becca before.

Or they, or I don't know if they actually met before, may have maybe like mutual friends tried to set them up and it never happened. But there was something there and she sent him home before Rose ceremony. Oh, okay. Yeah, because I do remember that. Yeah. So that's why. And then I think I remember, I think it was Rachel Lindsay season. One of the guys was like a few years younger than her, like in school or something like that.

Yeah. Like they were from the same town. Yeah. And there was like some sort of connection there where like she was like. Yeah. It was her. Yeah. Yeah.

Okay. So not the first time, but definitely a unique situation where she was like debating going on the show, ran into Peter at like a. bar or a hotel lobby bar or something like that so if you if you don't know kelly and peter ended up dating for i think a little over a year after after the show but where how far did kelly go she goes like close to hometowns oh really so she's like top five i think around there yeah around there she didn't go to hometowns but she makes it far enough that she like had a one-on-one date he was definitely into her The way it seemed watching the season, wow, like everything is just coming back to me from this season.

This is crazy. I feel like when we started watching night one, I was like, all the memories of this season are coming back. But I think the thing with Kelly was that she wasn't into like the process of it all. Yeah. Like she had a hard time leaning into the actual show. And knowing her, that makes sense. Totally. Yeah.

Totally. Victoria Fuller. Victoria Fuller. We see Victoria. We see Victoria. Victoria Fuller to me is one of the funnier ones to watch. She's so funny. She also is just a funny person.

She is funny. And yeah, we know her. And we like literally just saw her. Yeah. So that, yeah, she, we see her. I didn't realize she like really, she's like the girl who spirals night one. Yeah. Yeah.

There's a few girls that spiral night one. There was like three girls spiraling. Yeah. But she. Natasha was. another one that was kind of spiraling. Well, she, yeah, well, let's get into, so, like, limos are done. Yeah.

Let's get into, like, the sit down chats then. What were kind of, you know, we see Alley and her grandmother, but like, what were kind of the other standouts. So obviously Hannah Ann, which I do. Hannah Ann is kind of like the star of the show this night, I would say. She's really the standout. Yeah. In a good and a bad way, because the women are pissed at her.

The women are pissed at her, but it's working. So, so what? also like knowing Hannah Ann like yeah I don't think I don't think she went in like with malicious intent of like screw these other girls yeah well for those that maybe haven't watched she was produced for those that maybe haven't watched or have forgotten Hannah Ann is the girl that ends up engaged to Peter at the end of the season she gets the first impression rose night one and her method to the madness was she talked to Peter

then she went back and stole Peter again from Natasha and then she went back and stole Peter again from I think it was She Ann yeah and that's what she talked

him three times that night which any other I don't remember if she got a lot of hate for that but any other contestant and she ends up getting the first impression row yes but any other contestant that does that usually does get a lot of hate. But then again, she got the first impression role.

So I think that kind of validated that he was into it. That he was into it. Yeah, that it was mutual. Yes. But still, like, so shocking overall. Yeah, I don't know. She just like really went in there. The reason it's shocking I will say is because, I mean, you podcasted with Hannah Ann

for a little bit on clickbait. I've never met her. but she does come across like very sweet like she's just this southern sweetheart yeah i think that's true to who she is and you know she's giving peter a painting that her and her dad painted together and you know one of the girls confronts her and is like hey you're stealing time for me and she's like oh my god go get your time like yeah she's like so nice i just don't think it's it's who she is but i think she like got carried away yeah of like i'm in this new environment i want to get time so like i'm just going to do that yeah absolutely i think this was like rewatching this first night back

one thing i know it was we i don't i feel like we we see this but just not nearly as much and i forget that this was a big thing in the show especially night one were girls interrupting other women interrupting other women during their conversation with the lead. Like that was like people stealing Peter was happening nonstop in this. And I forget how much that was a thing. I feel like they used to show it more like how tense that interaction is of like stealing the lead and like girls that go in multiple times. Like I remember Katie Thurston on my season stole Matt from Mari and she used like a dildo

to do it because that was like kind of her bit of the night and marie was pissed and i remember queen victoria went in twice and that was like juicy but i just feel like on this season it was like really made to be a big thing because i think the women were reacting really poorly and i not poorly but they were having like a negative reaction they were getting mad and and i think watching a lot of people that go on the show obviously watch the show and and knowing after so many seasons that that stealing lead isn't the greatest look. I think people now go in like, yeah, I'll just wait. Yeah, but that's not great either because then you're sitting there anxious,

worrying that you're going to go home. Like, it's kind of a lose-lose. Like, you have to steal the lead from someone else that is just how it works. Well, yeah, but there's also a, I guess there is a cleaner way to do it. And I think what we saw in this season, it was more girls really just not getting. giving a fuck like I'm like I think it was Natasha and um Hannah Ann no the girl from Canada Natasha and the girl from Canada yeah it wasn't Natasha and Hannah Ann I think it was no McKenna yeah so it was Natasha and McKenna and

they were like going back and forth at each other like standing there making noises I was like that was like no one does that anymore no well McKenna had little paper airplanes that She was throwing at Peter and Natasha. Natasha basically said, no, you can't steal him from me. Then McKenna came back and threw more airplanes. And she was like, okay. And then Natasha stood there and chirps. Stole him back.

I mean, yeah, I feel like you don't really see that anymore. But like, I do love that. Like, that is so old school bachelor. Yeah. And I love it. I love seeing people, like, fight for time. Yeah, me too. I think that's a big part of the show that they need to actually start bringing back a little.

Do we see that on Joey's season? Like go back to, I don't think we did. I don't think so. But I do think, I don't want to say that Joey had like more passive women because that's not the right word, but maybe just like more easy going, go with the flow, kind of laid back women. Whereas Peter's women, I would not describe any of them as go with the flow or laid back necessarily. Like they were a lot more, I'm going to go get my man. And a lot of them came in like really into Peter.

which so did Joey's women. He did have a lot of hyper in him as well, but I would just say the casting was different. Yeah. Yeah. But it's so fun to watch. Like, there's tension the entire episode between everyone. My boyfriend's professor is way too friendly,

and now I'm seriously suspicious. Oh, wait a minute, Sam. Maybe her boyfriend's just looking for extra credit. Well, Dakota, it's back to school week on the OK Storytime podcast, so we'll find out soon. This person writes, My boyfriend has been hanging out with his young professor a lot. He doesn't think it's a problem, but I don't trust her.

Now, he's insisting we get to know each other, but I just want her gone. Now, hold up. Isn't that against school policy? That sounds totally inappropriate. Well, according to this person, this is her boyfriend's former professor, and they're the same age. And it's even more likely that they're cheating. He insists there's nothing between them. I mean, do you believe him?

Well, he's certainly trying to get this person to believe him because he now wants them both to meet. So, do we find out if this person's boyfriend really cheated with his boyfriend? professor or not.

I'm Jemell Hill, host to the Sports and Politics Podcasts Politics. And on the latest episode of politics, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries joins me for a candid conversation about the state of the Democratic Party. What do Republicans say to you privately that they won't say publicly? Many of them are in fear of their political lives. And that's been part of the challenge. But we continue to say to

them, you were elected to defend your constituents, to stand up for your constituents. And there's life after Congress. And you should be willing to actually want to be able to look back on your time in the House of Representatives knowing that you can keep your head held high because you did the right thing. Donald Trump is gone in three and a half years. But their legacy or their failure to stand up to the extremism and the unprecedented assault on America as we know it will be with them Forever.

Do we see Madison later in the episode A little bit Maddie we don't see that much We kind of just see like a short chat I mean we do see a conversation Between Kelly and Peter Where he's like really happy she's there There's definitely chemistry

between the two of them yeah it does seem like and again like we're like Monday morning quarterbacking here but it does see seem like the girls like what like Monday morning court like what does that mean we know the answer so oh okay so we're basing what we're saying off of the fact that we know we know yeah but like it does it seems like Hannah Ann and Kelly but I will say like he I would say you know we see the conversation with Kelly and there's more of a spark there than his conversation with Maddie. Yeah. That from what we see night one.

But I also think he met Kelly already. Like they spent time talking getting to each other. Also, Peter did a pretty good job of seeming like he was kind of into everyone he talked to. There was no, there was no, there was like no one that I feel like Peter talked to that you were like, oh, he actually seems really excited to be having this conversation with this person. Yeah.

he was just happy to be there he's also a very social yeah charismatic guy so he just that is kind of his natural energy which i think is great for a lead to have yeah because it just makes the women feel so comfortable and i feel like you get everyone at their like you get their most authentic self yeah and then we see like it flashes to like showing the fact that it is now mourning and we're having the row ceremony um ton of girls got cut all he cut all he cut all all the flight attendants. And then this was the first time we ever see, like they roll into the first day.

Yeah. Like crazy. Whoa. That was crazy. I wasn't expecting that. But yeah. First night one, we had a lot of kisses.

We had a lot of criers. Someone that went home night one that ended up, you know, kind of going on to do more would be Marissa. Marissa went home night one, but she ended up engaged on our season of paradise. Which is kind of cool. I will say like this, this episode, I don't, I don't know if this is the right word, but it really, it felt like you said, like, this is like traditional old school bachelor.

Like it felt very, like I'm watching reality TV. Yeah. I don't know. There was something. And maybe, look, who's to say that in three years we're not going to go back and watch Joey's season and say like, oh, this is traditional. traditional old school bachelor you know what I mean yeah maybe there is just something about going back and watching a season that we've already seen before but like it was a good season like watching it back I'm like yeah this this season did really well for a reason yeah

overall yeah definitely um who who else should we talk about here um there was a few girls that were on our are that go on paradise yeah let's do a little where are they now yeah so I'm gonna name I'm going to throw some names at you from the cast. Yeah, cool. So first one that stood out to me, we didn't see this person a lot. Oh, I have somebody that said out to me. I wonder if you're going to say who it is. Oh, no, because I'm going in alphabetical order.

So you go. Oh, Sydney. Sydney, yeah. Yeah. Like, I would have watched episode, I would have watched this first episode and been like, Sydney would probably be something that I would have put in my top. You and I, okay, so you and I always do top three. Top four.

Sidney would have been in my top four. Yes, she's so beautiful. Sydney would have been in my half four. I mean, I feel like you have to put Fuller in there just because she's already spiraling. But you can tell Peter likes her. Really? I feel like their conversation was so short.

And both interactions revolved around this like dirty joke that she was uncomfortable making. And then she says it again. She does her. That was the funniest part. She was self-conscious about. the joke she didn't deliver it and then she goes back and tells peter the same joke and he goes yeah well could you re-say that because i totally i don't remember because i don't remember and then she's

but that's when she's spirals oh yeah i would have too i would have too because she's probably like i shouldn't even have brought this up a second time and now i have to say again no i did not think her like i would have spiraled a little bit too if i was her on the first night well it's also easy like i mean i know this happened for me and i would say this happens for nine 90% of the people that go on the show, it's so easy to think, like, the lead is, like, doesn't even know who I am. Like, the lead's not into me at all. Yeah.

Don't, because I think when you're there, night one, a, you're, you're, you're so in your head. And then you're kind of like, it's all new. But, but when you look at everyone else, it's, it does, like, for me, I was like, oh, it It feels like these guys have been here. They, like, know what they're doing and they, and they had great conversations with Becca and, like, their light years ahead. And I'm just like, what am I doing? And I think a lot of people have to feel that way. Definitely.

Because if you talk to the lead early on, even if it goes well by the end of the night, you're like, have they forgotten about me? Yeah. And then if you talk to the lead late, even if it goes well, you're like, well, you know, does he even care? Yeah. You know, he didn't talk to me all night. He talked to all these other girls first. And then the first impression rose is always like kind of the added kicker. So, yeah, I mean, it's hard.

It's a really tough night overall to get through. The first impression rose, that's something they can never get rid of. Never. Yeah, that's like a very important. It's a very important part. It's crazy if they got rid of that. I'd say the most important part of the show, important. I can't, I can't speak today.

It's the most important part of the show. the night the night the night it's very important part i would agree with that um this was also the first not the first time we see that but like peter's family played such a big role in both like his intro package and then throughout the rest of the season his mom barb has like so many iconic moments throughout the entire show she has to be out of all the parents of any lead she is by far the most famous yeah like the most well known yeah a hundred percent she would be someone that like i mean his parents seem to be so in love and i'm so happy they have a happy marriage but if she was single oh my god she would be like perfect for the golden bachelor yeah yeah she would

have already got she would have gotten the contract i don't even think she would the lead i don't even i yeah i don't even think if peter's mom obviously she's happily married but if peter's mom was single i don't even think they would have done a golden bachelor i think they would have jumped to the golden bachelorette and made at pete's mom i would love to see that she's such like a vivacious woman yeah um but yeah so that was fun to see like you know kind of the start of that journey and then you see you know in the teaser that famous line of her like bring her home to us yeah yeah where did this thing go at the end i forget right because doesn't he like he who does he end up with. So what ends up happening is he's down to Maddie and Hannah-Anne. Yes. And who went to

hometowns? It was Victoria Fuller, Hannah-Anna, Maddie prove it. But who was number, oh, Kelsey. Kelsey. We didn't see Kelsey very much in this episode. No, yeah, you don't see Kelsey. But you do, oh, you know who you see a lot is Victoria Paul. Victoria Paul. So she's another one watching this. I would have been like, okay, she's probably going to be there for a while. It seemed that way. Yeah. she was there for a minute I think she isn't she I think she's probably like top 10 yeah I think so

let me see the face sheet anyone else that I was like yeah I think Victoria Paul gets the first one-on-one or one of the first one-on-one dates okay

or not the first one I think because she's on like that top gunny style date that they do I believe but she gets an early one-on-one date and they eliminate they eliminate

one-two-three three, four, five, six, seven, eight, eight girls went home night one. That's a lot. That's a lot. I mean, Joey's season, there had to be what? Like, I don't even think nowhere close to that. I think my season there was eight girls that went home night one. You had a big cast.

Yeah, but so did Joey. We had the same. They kept saying Joey was the biggest cast of all time. Oh, oh, I was around 10, 10 went home on Joey season. Jesus. Oh, my gosh. We're way off. Way off.

We don't know what we're talking about. I can't believe half the show. But to answer your question, what ends up happening is it's between Maddie and Hannah. You can tell he's like kind of torn. I think Maddie ends up essentially sending herself home because the values aren't aligned between the two of them. Yeah. He gets engaged to Hannah Ann. You know what's crazy is Chris Harrison has like an iconic line at the end where he's basically saying like Hannah Ann doesn't even know she's going to come today.

And he said recently that that wasn't true. wasn't true. That is crazy. Or that it was true potentially, but he hadn't talked to Hannah Ann that day. Like, she didn't tell him that directly. And they get engaged. It's not, it's awkward. It's not overly romantic.

He, like, talks about Maddie and their breakup in the proposal. And then they don't work out similar as to Becca and Ari, where he breaks up with Hannah at a happy couple house. and then Maddie and him reconnect that's when Barb is like he's got to figure this out for himself basically like it's not

it's not gonna work but they'll figure that out and then he gets with Kelly and then he dates Kelly for a long time date a long relationship I would say the most shocking thing about this entire season for me is I cannot believe after just even watching night one

and then knowing what you just told me the breakup story I cannot believe Hannah Ann was not the next lead maybe they maybe they just didn't want to do two hannas in a row like maybe maybe I don't know maybe but I watch it I'm like I can't believe Hannah Ann and and she like blew up after that season two so I can't believe I mean maybe she turned it down who knows Maybe she just wasn't ready.

I mean, she was just, because the turnaround time from Bachelor, finishing airing to Bachelorette being filmed is like really close. So like if she was engaged to him for like a chunk of time and then she had to like see him again at the finale, maybe she was just like this is too much for me to now go like date another dude. Like I just ended a relationship, an engagement. Yeah. But she would have been good to bring back. Yeah. She would have, there's a lot of girls from this, like, in terms of people that we saw again from this season, we had Alexa, or Alexa, no, not Alexa. Sorry, she was, yeah, never mind. She was potentially going to be on our season of paradise. But I don't think she ever made it down to the beach. But we had Deondra. We had Kelsey on our season of paradise. We had Marissa, Natasha, obviously, McKenna. Victoria Paul. Victoria Paul. Victoria F wasn't on our season

but on the next season and then Tammy And then we've got a lot of people I think that are like married now Like Sydney's married Yeah I think she just had a kid She's married to an NFL star NFL star

Hannah Ann's engaged Yeah I mean it is crazy like watching back And then thinking like all these people We're looking for love And like little do they know And you know Four years

They might be married Or having kids or It's just crazy you know Yeah yeah absolutely Um Okay I think that's it. That's a recap.

We are going to talk to Peter Laird this week, so make sure you stay tuned. And we'll ask him some questions about night one. Also, his season and what he's got going on right now. He was a pretty popular player on the show Traders, so we'll talk about that. So yeah, make sure you stay tuned. And thank you for listening to Happy Hour. Don't forget to subscribe. Bye.

Bye. My boyfriend's professor is way too friendly, and now I'm seriously suspicious. Wait a minute, Sam. Maybe her boyfriend's just looking for extra credit. Well, Dakota, luckily, it's back to school week on the OK Storytime podcast, so we'll find out soon. This person writes, my boyfriend's been hanging out with his young professor a lot. He doesn't think it's a problem, but I don't trust her. Now he's insisting we get to know each other, but I just want her gone. Hold up. Isn't that against school policy? That seems inappropriate.
