Now, Rachel, the top of this episode really popped off because front and center, we see this drama. We see this to be continued from last week with Bennett and Noah on this dreaded two-on-one. And we're definitely going to get into it today, but we're not going to do a full recap because we actually are, going to have one of the men who is front and center in this drama, which is Noah himself.

But before we bring him on, I know that I have to give the mic to you because you have a few special words prepared. I'm going to try not to lose it as I speak these special words. The time has come back. I've alluded to this. Do you Kleenex? I don't have Kleenex, sadly. I guess I'll just have to use my own shirt. But the time has come a day I thought I would never see. And I would just like to prepare for the moment. I'm already dressed in black. obviously for the occasion I'm gonna put on sunglasses because I'm not just I'm not quite sure how where my emotions are going to take me but those of you watching I'm setting up a cross and I've lit a candle because we have some sad news to report

today in bachelor's in bachelor nation last night we lost someone great and that's someone great was Bennett pause for dramatic stuff now I know we see Bennett pop up later in the episode but let's just be honest it ain't looking good for Bennett so rather than drag this out for a whole other week I'm just going to or maybe two who knows I don't know how long Bennett is saying but I'm just going to nip it in the bud now because I don't think my emotions can take another few weeks of this we lost one of the most charismatic condescending charming and coolest cats to ever grace that's our nation The other men wish they could.

Bennett, we shall miss your wit, your jabs, your ITMs, your emotional intelligence, and your chateau. Bennett, I feel you were misunderstood. But if no one else understood you, I did. I mean, Bennett, who even cares that you could spell the word limousine? I can't either. But you know what you can spell Bennett? Car service, private jet, wealth management, and Harvard. Who cares that you couldn't solve a problem that had to do with time, that had to do with clocks?

You know what you can solve? You know what you can read? Somebody's financial statements. Assets. You can manage billions and billions of dollars, Bennett. Bennett, you will be missed. You were one of a kind. you were in a league of your own.

And if there was a Hall of Fame of Bastra Nation, gosh darn it, you'd be in it. There will never be another Bennett. And we wish you well on your next journey. And in saying that, I'd like to close with this. How do I say goodbye to the time we had? The good times that made me laugh, outweigh the bad. I thought we'd get to see forever.

but forever's gone away. It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday. Rachel, oh my God, that was beautiful. I have tears in my eyes for that lovely hyulogy. And I just have to say now, Bennett, is a lucky man to get those words from you. and if and when I do die, Richel, will you please give the eulogy at my funeral? Becca, I don't even want to think about the moment.

I don't want to think about that time to come, but... Minow is listening to your words and she is gazing longingly out the window for what could have been. Oh, that gets been rough. Rachel, I know, you know, we'll take a moment. Everyone, please give us a few moments of silent for Bennett and what could have been. and now we toast and drink to the showt. This one's for you, Bennett!

Poor one out for Bennett, everyone. You know, as sad as it was to see Bennett go for, you know, a short amount of time last night, I will say he has a bright future ahead of him, the horizons that Bennett will grace, perhaps on paradise, perhaps on, dare I say, something bigger and better such as Bachelor one day, that that gives me hope and that that little light will be carried in my heart same i don't if you're watching this you're watching me wipe away my non-existent tears very similar to how noah did when he was talking to tasha and the one-on-one did you notice that he had no tears and i'm bitter i'm upset it is noah who got my minute's sick oh and i'm not over him i don't think

A lot of the guys have shed very many tears this season. Not over like issues with Tasha. It's like personal issues, right? Like they cried over some other things that have gone on in their lives. You know, I know we're not going to do a full recap, but there were some things that stood out. This was like a little bit more of a chill episode. It started off, you know, with a lot of drama as we saw The Bennett went home. That's how I'm referring to him now is The Bennett.

it. He went home. Noah stayed, not over that. But the rest of the episode was kind of, me. You know, we saw some things. We learned a little bit more about the men. And, you know, I feel like now we're just getting back into like the typical Bachelor fashion. It really is. Like there was a little drama. There was a little romance. There was a little bit of scandal in regards to like cheating and pasts. But yeah, this, this episode besides the very beginning and, the very end was pretty just mediocre in my book. Yeah, yeah.

I mean, we had the lie detector test and there is one thing I want to talk about because it's a topic of conversation that it's not new, but Tasha brought it up and I think that it's relevant and I'm very curious. I feel like our bachelor happy hours listeners are going to want to hear

our take on this. You know, we saw the lie detector test, aka the light bulb test. That's just what I'm going to call it because that's what it was, just light bulbs going off whenever they wanted to. But Zach revealed, you know, Tasia asked Zach the question, have you ever cheated? And without hesitation, Zach said yes. And then Tasia is really bothered by the fact that he has cheated before. And she says the comment that, you know, she believes that once you're a cheater, you're always a cheater. And I'm very curious with you, Becker, where do you

stand on that? Because people have strong opinions about this. Yeah. I, so funny enough, I actually, well, before we get into the cheating, and I will say, I listen to a lot of crime junkie podcast. And they always say, don't trust a lie detector. So don't take it. So when I saw this, I'd be like, I'm going to sit. I'm pleading the fifth. I'm sitting this one out. But they're not admissible in court. Yeah. They're for fun. So, yeah, don't trust a lie detector. But in terms of the cheating, I actually just had this conversation with Caitlin Bristow because we were discussing. this very topic and in this situation with Tasha and I think everybody has a past and as we've seen like most of these men are a little bit older. They're more mature. I'm sure that they've had a few if not more relationships under their belt. And I don't agree with the phrase or the saying once a cheater, always a cheater because I think for any sort of growth in life, you have to learn from your mistakes and own up to your actions and take that to heart if you truly want to change as a person. And so I think, you know, everyone has a past and everyone has made certain mistakes

in life. And so I think if somebody were to admit that, like, say somebody were to come to me in a new relationship and say, you know, I did cheat in the past. It's like, okay, well, why? What happened? And like, if you vowed to be loyal to me and committed to me, that's all that matters, you know? Like, I wasn't perfect in relationships in the past. And I made a lot of mistakes. and I learned from them, hopefully, and I know what I should and shouldn't be doing in a relationship and portraying that what I want to a partner. Yeah. That makes sense.

No, it makes perfect sense. And I completely agree with you. I don't believe the phrase, once a cheater, always a cheater. I've cheated before in past relationships and, you know, not excusing my behavior by any means because it was wrong, but I can tell you exactly why I cheated in that moment. And I think it's one thing. to say once a cheater, always a cheater, if you're in that current relationship and somebody cheats on you, that's different because, you know, you might not be able to get past that and

move on in your relationship. But if prior to you, before they even met you, they cheated for whatever reason, I think it's unfair to not give them the benefit of the doubt that they were able to learn and grow from that mistake they made. You know, I don't think it's, it's fair to judge certain mistakes and put one mistake as not as bad as the other. or maybe that's coming from a biblical sense one sin no sin is greater than the other but i i just i think that that's a very general statement i think you have to be careful when you make that statement because you don't allow room for people to grow and you also don't know what circumstance you may find yourself in whether it's emotional cheating or physical cheating or even just you know with

thoughts so i thought that was interesting and i was curious to see like how you felt about it because people really have strong opinions about this. Oh, yeah. And playing to your point because I'm sure we're going to get a lot of people DMing us being like, how could you say that? How could you condone cheating? And to your point, if it's in a past relationship with a past partner, that's on them and that's with somebody completely different. If it's in your current relationship, that's a whole different story. And you can take and do what you want with that. But if it's if it's in the past and they genuinely, you know, can admit that and own up to it and say like, this is why or this is what transpired to get me there and I learned from it and, you know, however I felt in that moment and after

that, it, yeah, it takes growth. And so I think where Tasia was coming from, which as, as we saw her explain, like she, that was a part of her past relationship and in her marriage. And so I get that wound is probably still pretty fresh. I don't know exactly when her marriage ended if she's ever said it on the show. But I'm sure it's fresh. And so it's like, I understand where that guard is coming from and where she's like very closed off to it. But also like, I would hope that she and everyone watching these men and like Zach in particular

because I'm sure he's going to get a lot of mean DMs for those five minutes before he explains the story. It's like he's not her ex. And all of these men are completely different people than who she dated in the past. And so she has to give them the benefit of the doubt that they have learned and grown and changed and are like fully committed to making the relationship with her work. Yeah. I very, very well said. And I think that, you know, the biggest thing for me with Zach is he owned it without hesitation.

So he knows, you know, he can admit he cheated. He can admit his mistake. And he can say how he's changed. He knew right away it was wrong. Yeah. Yeah. He knew immediately it was wrong. Now that ain't the type of cheating I did.

but I definitely learned from my mistakes in the past. I don't want anybody to think that happened with Brian. Let me just get that straight before someone tries to imply that. That did not happen with him. I, yeah, I'm glad we talked that one out because I just think that that's something that people go back and forth on. Before we move on and we get to Noah, I think probably the biggest question hanging over this entire episode is,

How the hell is Blake M. still here? What? Yes. Honestly, I, like, has he even had a conversation with Justatia? We don't know. We don't know. You only see him either by himself or with all of the dudes stewing over everything. And I'm like, oh, Blake, honey.

Like, you couldn't keep Spencer your first impression rose over Blake am you couldn't keep damar who's a personal favorite ed who at least has a sense of humor i mean what is blake who is blake i mean i just yeah wow blake's just making making penises out of clay apparently this is out of clay and screaming moment very uncomfortable orgasms into it help yeah oh yeah but he is flexible i will give him that so rachel before we do bring noah on though we do have one other major thing that we did see and that is what with Riley, one of our personal favorites. And we actually want to have him on next week to get into this and have him here to answer all of the questions because it was a big moment for him.

And we saw a lot more emotion come out of him. And so rather than recapping and go through just what we saw in 30 seconds with him last night, we're going to bring him on next week. So everyone, please make sure you tune in to give Riley the floor and to explain himself in much more detail. Yeah. The time that it deserves. Yes. I'm looking for it to talking to Riley. So now, the moment you've been dreading, I know you don't want to do this. You have been such a trooper up until this point. I know. I know that you probably have a bone or two or 14 to pick with Noah, but we have to have him on and have, we have to hear his take in the second story. That's out of the candles.

Pour up your glass of wine. Make sure that baby's full. And without further ado, happy hour listeners. we bring you, as Bennett would say, young Noah. Noah! Noah, welcome to Bachelor Happy Hour. Appreciate it. Love to be here. Thank you. Oh, we are ready.

Now, I'm going to preface this entire conversation with, Noah, I'm Team Bennett. Okay? So I want you to know what kind of energy I'm giving you where I'm coming from before we get into this. only fair. Okay. I had a feeling you were wearing some loafers right now. I could feel it from across the country. I know your team Bennett. I am wearing black. She's in morning because you sent him home basically. I am from the south. I am. Yeah, yeah, I'm in morning. I got I got my sunglasses here. I've got a eulogy prepared for this podcast as well. You know, you set my boy home.

Hey, since we're going to, since we're going to preface it, I want to show you that I wearing these lovely socks that your boy got me I also haven't done stretches so what I just did ruin every muscle I had but yeah I'm wearing them so we got the same energy going on

I'm glad that we can have a piece of Bennett in this podcast thank you Noah you've already changed my mood one point for Noah we're just getting started speaking of pieces of things where's the mustache

so I want to be honest I didn't realize so many people disliked it. I don't know why. You got more hate than warranted for that mustache. And I randomly do a mustache and randomly don't. So by the time, you know, the show was over, everyone was doing mustaches. And I was like, all right, now it's not really fun and cool

because everybody's doing it. And I just, I just shaved it. Plus I have to wear a mask at the hospital. So you can only have a mustache for the masks are awful. so when you knew you were in quarantine aliquita about to meet the bachelorette you were like this mustache right now is a great idea i said listen this is how i came in this is how i'm going to go out uh either she's going to hate it or she's going to love it because there's no in between with the mustache yeah nobody is like oh the mustache is all right people either want to burn the house down

or they want to like gobble the mustache up it's in between yeah it's not i mean there's no in between. It's got to be attached to something. It's got to have like a partner in crime. You can't go solo with the mustache, like at all. Like at least give it a sole patch. You got to get this. I thought I reminded myself of what's that guy, Howie Mandel.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. And I hated that about myself. So I got rid of a bit quick. Yeah. And the mustache, which we appreciate it. So Noah, how does somebody like you get on this show? so it's funny

I don't know what that means somebody like me but it's funny that you asked that because back in the day people would always joke like oh you're going to end up on the bachelor bachelorette it just makes sense I didn't even know what that meant yeah I don't know what that means either I don't know I never did

but then one day I'm doing a because I'm a travel nurse so I was doing a contract in California my little sister calls me and it's like hey I'm at a bachelorette party and me and my friends all want a nominate you for the Bachelorette and I was kind of like all right sure yeah whatever sounds good so I sent them some Venmo for some margaritas I was like have fun you know I didn't think anything would become of it I was in the middle of a COVID contract actually when it was just getting started

so they weren't calling it COVID officially but it was just getting started then you know skip a couple weeks and they say hey we you know your profile came across our desk we want to at least interview. So, oh, go ahead. No, finish. So I was like, is this being real?

You know, I didn't think it was real, honestly. I was like, I'm getting punk somehow. I don't know how this is happening, but I'm getting played right now. So I didn't even think it was real, really, but I was like, okay, yeah, whoever you are, I'll show up after a shift. So I like stop at the mall after shift at 8 in the morning, show up

with some clothes. I'm like on my 20th cup of coffee, so I'm literally sweating. I'm like a mess and I interviewed them for a couple hours and they're like if you're serious about this and you're in a place of life

that you think you'll you'll think this process will work we love to have you and this was after I've been a traveler nurse for two years so I'd typically work a contract and then leave the country so I've been on my own for the last two years

traveling around having the blast living it up and I was kind of like I think I am ready like as far I feel like accomplished and everything I've done in my life to this point by myself. This is a crazy way to like give love a chance, but I've done probably crazier things and I'm going to at least commit fully to it. So then, you know, I just decided, all right, I'm going to do it. I'm going to make sure my life is, this will work with how my life is and I can continue after.

So it's not like I did it and then it didn't work out. Like if it works out, I want to be able to have our lives mesh. So that was, I just wanted to say. thank you, you know, for what you do. I want to recognize the fact that you are on the front lines. You're an essential worker. You know, you've been out here. Like you mentioned COVID. I'm not sure, you know, I know you're on the front lines. I don't know how involved you were with COVID or not, but the fact that you have to be out there and you're, you know, protecting us and you're taking care of sick people. I just want to say thank you for what you do. Appreciate it. And honestly,

I don't like to talk about it because I feel like that defeats the purpose of why I do it, you know? I work in the COVID ICU but yeah, I appreciate it. It's been crazy and it hasn't stopped.

That's very humbling of you. I just want to say that before we get into the other part of the show. Before you ruin me, go ahead. But seriously, thank you. You were probably more nervous for Rachel on this, huh? Listen, she's pulling a Bennett tactic and buttering me up,

getting all sweet. She's probably got a gift. She's going to just destroy me later. I'm waiting for the mail. I don't, but it would be remiss of us on the show to not recognize what you do and thank you for your service, truly. You're welcome.

It's honestly an honor. I appreciate it. So, Noah, you mentioned, like, all of your friends were saying you should sign up for the show, you should be part of this. We did, I have to admit this. We did hear from, I believe, easy a couple weeks ago when we asked, like,

who was the man that loved the camera the most? he happened to mention you. So now that you obviously are in it and watching this all back, and I'm assuming your friends and family are watching it, do you think that you are living up to their expectation of what they thought you would be like on TV? And how is it personally watching yourself back? First, it's funny that Easy said that because if you were to ask me,

I would say Easy. And that's probably why Easy and I both like, we were friends, but we weren't because it's too big spotlights. You know, so it's funny that you say that. As far as my family and friends, I still don't think my parents have adjusted the fact that I'm making out on TV. Because I keep my life very private. I don't talk about any of that, really even with my twin and some of my best friends I will,

but I'm very private. And I told them like, hey, listen, when I told my parents, I said, hey, listen, I'm showing up and I'm either going to be in love by the end of this or be heartbroken. It's one of the two. And they're like, it's a little dramatic, don't you think? I was like, no, I'm serious. I am all in or I'm all out.

You know, I'm not holding back anything. That's kind of why I was excited about this because I have never, like, gone out of my way to give one person a chance. I've kind of, like, withheld things because, you know, I've been traveling a lot and kind of living my own life. So I prefaced it with them.

I said, I don't know how it's going to look in the end, but I am going to go all in, all Noah, and, you know, whatever happens, happens. So they saw me early on and saw, the funny thing is, a lot of this stuff, like me hopping the fence, they weren't surprised in the slightest.

They're like, oh, okay, that sounds right. And everyone's freaking out, and they're like, yeah, it seems about what I expected to happen. And, you know, I got in some fights with some guys, and they're like, I kind of thought you were more chill. I don't know. Something was going down between you and the guys. They were kind of surprised by that, but for the most part, everyone's been super supportive. Weren't too surprised, but we're more like, you know, how much of this, how much of this that we're seeing, how much was left out that wasn't there.

And obviously, I can't talk about it. Oh, so you're saying some things were left out. We didn't get the whole story. Okay, Noah. So, you know, you're in a good company here. You're talking to, we all three have biblical names here, okay? Rebecca, Rachel, Noah. Okay?

So you're in a safe place. You guys are the pillars. You're going to say. You're a safe place here. But, okay, no, I feel like I've seen on social media, you've been alluding to this, but you're the villain, okay? Let's just call it. Now, now, Becca and I loved you jumping the fence.

We are actually big fans of you jumping the fence. I thought it was a bold move. It was a big move. It was necessary. And everybody else was just jealous that they didn't think of it or do it first. Okay. But you're the villain. What do you think about that?

How do you feel being portrayed as the villain? I mean, like, maybe Bennett is getting a little bit of it too, but I think you, I think it's more, you. I think it's more. So I think, oh, go ahead. Let me just. Fingers up, fingers up, something good's about to come. Well, no, no, just before, to give you, I mean,

because I don't know how, if you had watched the show before, but usually in the past when we see a villain, like, you know right away who the villain's going to be because they say certain things to the group of people that like, I remember the villain on, on my seat, well, not on my season, but on Ari season, like, lost her mind a little bit and, like, went off and was calling us bitches and worse things. But with you, it's in a different way.

It's, like, a new kind of villain that I, like, I watch it go down and I see, like, the banter between you and Bennett, but I, like, I wouldn't call you a full villain, but it's just, like, the show needs that title, you know? He's a villain. You're a manipulator. Listen, you're a manipulative. Your boy Bennett's little shimmer. I mean, his glimmer.

His shimmer is not a word. His glimmer is starting to wear off, and he's starting to be shown for more of a villain. And that's how some of the guys at the house saw him, we got to see Bennett, he's funny, he's quirky, he's all these things. But then he'll say stuff, and you're like, I mean, it's just, he was just very condescending and demeaning with people. And so we'd be like, dude, what is that? You know, you're funny, and we like you, but it's also some random things. So my... Was he like that with just you or with all of the guys, too, for the most part?

He was, okay, I don't know which question to answer first. There's so much to unbottle here. Take a sip. Takes a sip of wine. All right, so I'll start with your question. When I saw that I was starting to be portrayed as the villain, honestly, I was annoyed at first. And all my friends and family thought it's hilarious because they know me.

And they're like, dude, you look. I mean, you're kind of looking like just a manipulative torp, dude. You look like you're just doing all these things and we know you're not like that. Like, are you okay? And I'm like, yeah, I'm fine. It's just annoying.

Because, you know, their opinion matters more to me than people on Twitter that are ragging on me. They have no idea who I am. They have no idea what my life's like. So I value their opinion a lot more. So I got a lot of support from them. But I was annoyed when I figured out I'm the villain. And that's why on Instagram I made these sly little jokes like, yeah, I'm the big, bad villain.

To me, a lot of the stuff that I said was left out would have probably clarified why things were portrayed the way that were. Like what? So when I, the first time I talked to Tasha, I knew, I knew things after that point were going to be bad. And the only reason I wanted to talk to her is because the guys were. we're saying basically like, dude, you got this rose for no reason. We know it. It's just to make us all try harder, piss us off, all this stuff. So I said, hey, Tasha, I have feelings for you and I want to know if you gave this to me just for fun, because if you did, I'll go home. I mean, it was for me. It was for me being like, I will leave. Like, this is what I heard

if it's, I want to know if it's true or not, because I don't really want to be here if it is. now no part of you thought she would have because you were basically saying hey the men are doing this and they're they're quite you you you set that up and it's become this theme that i like can't stand this whole questioning my integrity i think it's being blown out of the water personally i don't think it's really all that deep but you kind of set her on the path to think that because of what you were saying you can't tell me there was no part of you that thought oh gosh maybe she's going to take this the wrong way. I thought, I mean, I thought maybe she will take this the wrong way. But I also, I was never malicious and devious on how I did it.

And I'm not sitting back in my room thinking, I'm going to say this because I have the biggest rose in bachelor's history on my chest, which is 10 pounds for some reason. I'm not going to say all this. Yeah, that's huge. But I'm not going to say all this.

I mean, I wasn't devious when I did it. I honestly wanted to know, like, Is this true or not? And it exploded. You're right. It exploded into something I didn't really intend.

And you know it. No, I didn't. When the group was all back together and Tasha went and on her rant and they were like, well, what happened? Like who said something? And you were like, who said that? That's what I was so confused because I feel like watching that interaction after Tasha left and, you know, had this moment where she's like, if you're going to question me, I'm out of here.

you see you up against how many guys were left at that point like 16 or something like they're all questioning you saying noah like we didn't say these things to you directly and you should have had a conversation and it made it seem like you were like well yes i did or i tried or there was just a lot lost in translation as a viewer where i was like we're missing something here because there obviously is a lot more shown than they than what we can see weekly on the show but like all of the guys basically were like hands up like no we didn't have this conversation with you. We didn't say anything like this, too. So where did that come from then? So you said 16 guys were going at me. If you notice, it's five or six. And it's the same five or six that I realized when I showed up, you know, they had their pact, whatever they called themselves, the Sweet 16, OG-16, whatever it is. They had a pact and they shared in their heartbreak with Claire, which coming on, I had no idea what happened. I just knew Claire's not the Bachelorette. Tasha's the Bachelorette. Great. That's all I knew. I did not know things went down

how they went down. So that's why, when Spencer got flack, taking these jokes, we didn't know all the stuff they went through. So when I showed up, I knew that this is a group of guys that are super close, but I have a target on my back. And regardless of what I'm going to do, I'm going to have a target on my back.

So I was at the point where I said, I'm either going to completely be my myself, the guys that are disrespectful to me, I don't care. The guys that are respectful to me, I'll be respectful to them. But I'm not going to just be quiet and let them hush me away because I'm the new guy and I'm the youngest. You didn't have a target on your back.

You had a mustache on your face. I had a mustache on your face. Okay, I had a target under my nose. If you would have just shaved it off prior to coming that first night, who knows where we would be at this point. But then Tasha wouldn't have shaved it off. You know, and it's... That was smooth.

That was smooth, Noah. She shaved it off. I'm like, she complimented me more in those two hours than the whole week or two weeks. And I'm like, okay, well, I guess this works, but I wish I would have known this a long time ago. But I, those guys that I got into it with, it was five or six of them, and they would have banded it together. You could have said, Noah has a unibrow, blue skin. And they'd have been like, Noah does have a unibrow and blue skin. and they would have banded together and said anything in support of each other.

And that's why the footage that's missing, it's a shame because I'm like, okay, you can see me calling people out and it just being brushed aside like, I don't know what you're talking about, dude. I don't know what you're talking about. But then, you know, I hear it as I'm walking into the house or into the hub or whatever. Did anyone kind of have your back end stand up for you in that instance? That instance? No, nobody. It was me. And we're all looking around. The people are calling out producer.

It was mayhem. They don't show it how bad it really was. It was six, first one, yelling. And Ed, I don't even know where he came from. He just started to yell. I don't think he knew where he was. He's just yelling. Nobody had my back, though.

But to be fair, no, I didn't expect to any of my back that because I knew dang well that it would have. I mean, people are going to be pissed about it if it's, if they think that I'm just lying and making it up. That's why I didn't want to bring in names. I just wanted her to tell me, yes or no, I gave you that rose to help. I gave you that rose just because. Or, yeah, I do have feelings for you. So nobody had my back, but I didn't deserve anybody had my back at that point. Later on, when they got to know me, I did have quite a few guys in the house.

Yeah, I feel like we had been on here last week and he spoke highly of you. I feel like, I mean, if you really want to Tasha to know if Tasia gave you the rose for real, you just would have asked it and it wouldn't have, you know, escalated to what it did. but it did escalate and then we saw you and bennett start you can always see as you're watching the show and i'm not sure if you were a fan of the show before you can see people start like it's like they start rising up and you're like okay they're going on a two on one it's happening and it's shifted a bit in this in this group but just from claire's season the taceous season but as we see it becomes you and Bennett.

At any time where you were like, were you like, oh my gosh, I'm going to be the one on the two on one. It's going to be me versus Bennett. How did I get to this place? So I have this habit of just pretty much playing dumb, especially when it comes to insults.

I just brush them off. I don't care. I don't let them bother me because honestly at the end of the day, I'm like, what do I get out of this? Yeah, I can just totally go in and make all these insults at a guy Like, I can do a lot of things with it, but what do I get at the end? I might feel a little rush for the moment because I made some guy, you know,

I made fun of him or something. So I would get remarks from Bennett all the time. But I was like, I'm not going to feed into this, honestly. I was, I'd stay on the defensive. I was like, I'm not going to feed into it. They're just jabs. They're little jabs. Who cares?

You know, I came from a family of 10 brothers and sisters. We get jabs all the time. It's like, whatever, you know. Where do you fall in line? I'm in the middle with my twin. You're a middle child Yeah It's so much sense

I'm a middle child too Maybe that's why I love to hate you I love it I understand you No but I I heard the remarks Even when I when I jumped the fence When I was jumping the fence

I was like I know this is going to cause drama But listen I'm here for Tation I'm not here to Fit in with these guys Because either she'll like me or she doesn't And then the guys We'll see You know

But even with that moment Being Bennett had said like two words to each other up to that point. We haven't talked. All I hear is just little chirps in the corner the whole time. And I'm like, this guy has no idea who I am. We've never talked. They did the same thing they did with Spencer,

where they started going on Spencer. And Spencer ended up kind of being like, I don't want to deal with this drama. I was in the wrong. Whereas I was like, I haven't done anything to wrong any of you. The tattling in that, I could have definitely went through more smoothly, but looking back, I don't regret it.

I was just like, I could have been more smooth about that and handled it in a different way, but how it played out, I never wronged anybody. I never went out of my way to do these things, but some of these guys are coming at me, like I just, you know, went in and stole all their presents from under the Christmas tree. I didn't get it.

So the Bennett remarks, I brushed them off, I brushed them off, and then people were telling me, like, you know, Ivan was like, dude, he's, Ivan's my boy, by the way, preface. You know, people were telling me, like, what's up with you and Bennett? And I'm like, I don't know what you're talking about. And then I started to notice.

I'm like, you know what? He is kind of coming at me sideways. And then when Tasha said it, I was like, all right, yeah. This is where I'm done playing around because I actually, you know, I started having feelings for Tasia. And I'm like, now we're all dating the same chick and you're like coming after me. Now it's actually personal. You know, before I'm like, who cares?

But now, you know, as it progressed and she brought it up, I was like, okay. something's going to have to happen and it looks like one of us is going to go home i don't know how but one of us is going to go home and the other person's going to try to burn the house down on the way that's what's going to happen i don't know how it's going to play out i just could see it coming so we see you and bet it on this two-on-one and usually i feel like the guys don't have you know because rachel did you have a two-on-one on your season i did okay so and i feel like usually they don't leave the guys alone that long at least on my two on one like i spent the whole first half with them like they weren't alone together and so i thought it was interesting that they put you to in

the room and of course they knew like bennett had this gift for you um so he gives you this book about emotional intelligence and um i i just have to say i hope we see the book at some point maybe during mental all who knows i hope it maybe you still have it i don't know but Have you read the book and how would you rate your emotional intelligence? So I started to read the book. I did. I think there's going to, I mean, there's a clip of me somewhere propped up with a little bit of chardonnay, my socks on the couch reading this book. The mustache socks? No, there are different socks. But, you know, I'm just chilling. I'm like this, you know, I'm not above being taught about, you know, more emotional intelligence. If it's a good book, it's a good book. It's peer reviews. from Harvard. Bennett read it four times, apparently, but he didn't apply it, so maybe I can read it once and apply it. It's kind of my thought. This isn't a bit. This isn't a bit at Batchez Show.

We're not going to have any of that. I read a lot of it. I feel like to rate myself on emotional intelligence, like kind of defeats the purpose of emotional intelligence. Do you think you have more than one of the key components? Yeah. The funny thing is Bennett said self-management's the only one I have um but i mean the things that he said i didn't have are things like i mean there are things that i like make a mission to live by and like put at the top of my list like empathy is one uh i would say screw nursing if i wasn't empathetic because it's not fun it's like there's days where it just sucks you're like why would i be doing this so like in order to say i don't have empathy that's what i have to like show every day or i'm just a bad nurse you know and so i like

Damn it, good point. Some of the things that he said I lacked, I just, like, I'm hearing them. And I'm like, you can tell. I'm getting so mad. I'm getting so throttled. But I'm like, if I feed into this, I'm going to look like a 25-year-old punk. That's a hot head. So I just have to listen.

But I would disagree with a lot of the emotional intelligence things. And I think a lot of the people that know me would as well. Yeah. You mentioned your age, and I feel like you got a lot of flack from that. You know, you're, are you 25? I just turned 26 on the 15th November. Okay. He said get it right.

Scorpio! I knew. We just opened the Indora's box. You knew it. And normally I ask, I say, What's your birthday? When is your birthday? At all I don't have to let.

Rachel exits the Zoom and leaves. She's gone. A Scorpio. Get the water out. Dad, bring in the water. I need the water. The holy water. Especially male scorpion.

He goes, I know, it all makes sense all of a sudden. No, but your age, I feel like, and this is a theme on The Bachelor, age, the younger people, it becomes a talking point. It becomes an issue. But it is something that Tasha recognized. Tasha said to you in the episode when she was, you know, trying to decide between you and Bennett, she says to you, I feel like you're not ready for marriage. She makes a comment, I feel like you're not ready for this. How did that make you feel? And why do you think she said that to you?

well to be honest so the age thing that's something I've been dealing with my entire life because me and my twins started college when we were I mean we started doing concurrent classes when we were 16 and by the time we were 18 we were already done with all of our prerequisites and stuff so I was always the youngest I can't be I might be you're growing on Rachel I'm just going to say that right now

no no shut it down shut it down put the cross up there you go there's a full moon out tonight too but I'm used to like always being like it being a topic and it used to bother me so much like that's why my Instagram handle was baby herb for the longest time because that was a nickname everybody called my last name's herb you know that's what everyone's like he's so much younger my friends were six years older than me so it used to bother me but then I got to a point where you know I'm the 10 year 10 years younger than the people in my nursing class and working at a furniture store when everyone's in their 30s and I'm 20 or not

19 and I started to take it as a compliment like not a chip on my shoulder but more like let me prove you wrong kind of thing like let my action speak to themselves. I don't need to say anything about it. So that's kind of how I've been living my life when people view me like my age is a big deal. I'm like let me prove you wrong. I mean just

instead of having a preconceived notion to me because I'm 25 talk to me and hang out and my actions will speak way later than whatever I say. Why do you think Tasha said you weren't ready? Well, when Tasha said that, you have to look from Tasha's perspective. Caught up in a lot of drama, all the drama. And one thing she did say, and she said a lot to me is, like, you're always goofed around, you're always having fun. I'm kind of like that in my life.

I'm a more half-full kind of guy. So I was goofing around with her a lot, but I did make it a point to show a serious side. And you didn't see that in the art thing, but I dove into, I got... I was the first one to go, so I set the pace for how emotional we got, and clearly the art thing got very emotional with everyone. But I try to go out of my way to be like, or to show my more deep sides and more husband's sides and things like that. But Tasha can only see so much.

So if all she sees is us having fun, a little bit of deep sides that she's more intrigued by, and then the rest is me on the defensive fighting everybody in the house and, like, you know, caught up in drama. I don't blame her for saying that. I wasn't mad. I was kind of sad to hear that because I know how hard I've worked in my life and set myself up.

And to hear that, I was kind of like disappointed. But I also feel like when she didn't give me the rose after Bennett went home, and then she said, I don't think you're ready for marriage. She said it in a way that was like proved me wrong, honestly. And, you know, I'll take that instead of her being like,

you're not ready for marriage, for sure, you know? I kind of felt it was like I see deeper sides in you every time we talk. You don't prove me wrong. It is what it is. So I didn't like hearing it because I know all the work I've put in to my life to get where I am now. Well, and age doesn't mean like maturity or I think it's experience that really makes someone who they are. Like I think back to like Ben Higgins actually when he was bachelor, he just tweeted this out last night. In your defense, Noah, he was 25 when he became bachelor.

And I mean, he was ready. He obviously got engaged and was ready for the next step. And, you know, things worked out in a different way for him. But to your point, like on my season, on R.E. season, Becca M., who was 22 at the time, like everyone when they found out her age gave her so much flack. And simply because she was 22. And now she has two amazing, beautiful babies. Like, she's just a badass mom.

She just works hard. She's funny, witty, like all these things. And it's just because, I guess she's young, but she has probably more experience and maturity than most people. So, in your defense, like, kudos to you for now coming on here and sharing that, because I think everyone could hear this because they just, you know, see the 30 minutes that you and Bennett were chirping at each other. Well, also, you weren't really feeding into it. But, but yeah, I think it comes with experience. And it sounds like you have a lot just with what you do. Well, that's something that I said when I really did get to a point where I was starting to get fed up. And when they started going at Spencer and then me and I, And a lot of the guys that were in the middle are like four years older than me. They're trying to act like, you know, here I am putting no under my wing. I'm like, you're not putting me under your wing.

I'm not above whatever advice you have to give me, but let's not try to act like I'm your little brother. Age does not directly correlate with the charity. Just because you weren't ready for love and weren't out of place when you were 25 doesn't mean I'm not. You can't speak for me in my life experiences. And that's something I kept saying. Like, I'm not going to speak for you. either. You know, I'm not going to speak for you. Yeah, sorry for doing good points. I'll show it. I'll slow them down, Rachel. Put the cross-up.

She can't even do it right now. That was something that I kept trying to like say is, you know, quit having preconceived notions and judgments about me and other guys that you don't know, because you're speaking from where you were when you're my age. You can't speak for me. You don't know me. You know me a week, you know. Well, you shut me up. So, so, you know, because it's, it's a lot of the guys, it seems like comparing you to them and where you're all at. So, Noah, what does your five-year plan look like? Do you think marriage will be in that? Five.

Oh, I think if I'm not married at five, I really messed up along the way. Something happened. Okay, you were speaking to somebody who is 30 and not married. I'm saying me personally, okay? Don't take points away. Me personally. No, my five-year, um, I mean, I would love to get married here in the next couple years

as long as I find somebody that our lives work out. I want to start having kids when I'm like early 30s so I can still be a cool dad, you know. Oh, you'll still be cool. Remember, age doesn't? You're right. I'm doing stretches now, so I'm not worthless from like 45. You almost just pulled in your leg when you were showing us those sides.

I have to. Oh, I'm sorry. I want to let you finish up. Well, like my five years, I want to, I'm still trying to devote. you know, this year has been crazy with COVID and the bachelorette and everything. I'm still trying to set myself up financially and things like that for, you know, whatever lady I do meet, you know, we can have fun and enjoy the world for a couple of years and then start to focus on, you know, where we want to go next and kids later down the road and stuff

like that. So five years is going to be focused on me and one other person. I mean, I'll still focus on my career and things like that, but it's being geared more towards another person with my career, whereas the last few years has just been me. Yeah. I mean, that's a, listen, when you have older siblings, I really do feel like there's something that makes you grow up faster, and you have a lot of them. So there's just something about being around older siblings where you, like, you, you're into the things that they are, and it makes you mature in a different way.

I mean, life experiences do as well, but something about older siblings. Okay, so I have to ask you. Okay. On the two-on-one, when my dear Bennett was sent home, R-I-P. All right, okay, Bennett. Okay, I almost called you Bennett because I'm so frazzled. I'm so frazzled by the fact that he went home. When he went home and you were sitting there in that room by yourself,

and you had that fiendish gleam in your eye, and you were smiling. What was behind that thought? All right. First, we need to talk about, we need to talk about. We need to. talk about the fact that some of the faces they've been showing me on television. I don't know if I don't know I make these faces or what. I've got this snobby little grin. It's the side of my mouth apparently. I don't know which side. It's one of them where I'm like, oh yeah. I'm not saying

anything, but you can just feel the oh yeah. I noticed I'm like, what is that face? Like, why am I making that face? I think it's a defensive face. You know, it's like, all right, these guys are coming down me and bring it on. But nobody was in the room. What were you? What were you thinking? That one I was happy because what you don't know is that your boy Bennett was so confident in the fact that he was going to send me home that he's telling all the guys. He's not concerned. And the thing with Bennett is a lot of the things he does are premeditated.

He thinks about him. He's got his saying. He's got his zingers. He has his zingers. He's got good ones. But he thinks about the stuff hours in advance. So when she said, you're like, Noah, like, she wasn't happy to let Bennett go that way. And she wasn't happy with me, obviously, as you saw.

Yeah. She wiped that smile off my face real quick. Yeah, she did. She literally walked in and said, no, don't be smiling. That was not a victory for you. Oh, I know. And I'm like, you are such a sco, but you're, but she's going to keep me here. I'm like, send me home.

Just send me home then. Fine. But when he went home, honestly, it was more of a testament to the fact. that what she saw on us overshadowed the drama and the mess that I was in so I'm kind of thinking like Bennett Ed are gone

the rest of the guys in the house we're all close there's not going to be drama nobody's like going out of the way to start anything we're all friends I was just happy for like okay I got past this I went against all the odds I'm past all this

now she can see like my real side and there's a way more to me than she's seen you know. So that's why I was excited. I wasn't like showed Bennett like part of me was because he started to piss me off. But it was more like, all right, I'm ready to do this like a next level. And that's, I kept saying to the guys, Zach's the only one that kept agreeing with me. When I jumped the fence that one time, I said, listen, listen, boys, if we're all going to do this for real and try to end up engaged, I'm going to keep stepping it up.

That's where I said. I'm just getting started. I'm like, I'm going to keep stepping it up. I'm not doing it to try to push you guys down. I expect all of us to keep stepping it up. And then, you know, whoever's most suitable, take the prize, which is, you know, Queen Tasha. That's about where we're at.

So I was ready to keep stepping it up once Bennett went home, just having less mess along the way. But I did have that smug little smile. Yeah, I know. I saw it. She slapped it off my face. I would she walked in and said that out. You know, well, Rachel, you probably remember this one. I think it was Paradise, which we'll get into for you, Noah,

but Paradise reunion a couple years ago, Tia was sitting there. She's like, yes, bitch, yes. That's when I fell when Taya walked back in. I was like, mm-hmm. I about sat on my hands. I was like, yes, ma'am. Sorry.

You were like a little dog with this, too, oh, it was great. It was great. So speaking, well, I want to project in the future and you stepping it up. We obviously don't know what happens with you or the rest of the season, but if there were to be an office,

for a paradise on the table in several months. What would you say to that? I think paradise would be wild. I think it would be like a mental all. And you'll see what the mental law was like. So is that a yes or not? Okay, so I said I wouldn't do it. I said I wouldn't do it.

I was like, you know what? I don't know. We'll see, you know. Look at my face. I said I wouldn't do it now. I'm like, you know what? Part of that was because I felt like I was getting a poor portrayal on the show. And I was like, listen, if they're just going to make me look like some douche bag, there's no reason to do it twice.

I don't need the publicity in my life. Like, I'm pretty happy. I was pretty happy with my life before the show, to be honest. I'm like, I don't need all of that. And I don't care for it, you know. But, you know, I realize now that it's just all kind of part of how it was. My personality itself got me in trouble. They can only show so much.

And so I kind of took it with stride. I know, like, my family and friends are super supportive. So I think I would do it, yeah. I mean, I have a current poll going on right now on Instagram, and you're winning. So I don't think that Team Bennett or Team Noah. Oh, delete it and reposed. And I will tell you right now, I might be the only one on Team Bennett. Or just the only one who takes Team Bennett.

Here's what I realize is how flippant everybody is. Because I was the most hated man. And I mean, I'm next to, you know, I say Putin on here? I don't know. I'm next to Putin as far as people hating me. Or Chad Johnson, the last guy from Tulsa who sucks, actually suck. Is Chad from Tulsa? Yeah, he's from Tulsa.

Oh my God, something's in the water. Don't say that. Don't say that. I didn't know that. Only fan. I was so hated. And honestly, I was like, why do people hate me? I haven't even done anything yet.

Like, they haven't even seen the stuff I've done. They haven't even. They shouldn't hate me yet. I'm like, give it a week and actually hate me for a reason. But they've changed so fast. And now, yeah, Bennett. Yeah, down with Bennett. Or people are like, I still really don't like Noah, but I hate Bennett.

So it's like the lesser of two evils. Fickle and fleeting. Ficklea. That's how it goes. Somebody's going to do something next week or in two weeks to piss everyone else off and they won't even care. Exactly. No, everybody else left is too quiet. They're too careful.

Everyone's so careful. Everybody was too careful. Noah, I love a person who's direct and calls it out like it is. What do you mean by too careful? Were they playing a part? Were they trying to go for maybe another role in the franchise? I'm just, what do you mean they were too careful? I think, so a lot of those people that you think are they playing another role in the franchise? The ups and downs, they're probably gone. Your boy being one of them. I think the people... No, not playing a role, because I don't want to give you a bad name. When I say that, I mean, like, trying to be the next bachelor. You weren't playing a role. Ben, I mean, he said himself. He stayed out of all drama, King of the No Drama Club.

They made little jokes. To me, some of the guys just were more careful about not being... And it's not a bad thing. You know, it's not bad to go out of your way to stay out of the drama. Because the people that are in drama, it's messy, as you can see. yeah uh so a lot of the guys that are left are i mean i'm the loudest one of the group unless we're drinking chardonnay then riley's definitely loud and so is i but uh that like the guys that are left were very concise in how they did everything calculated yeah calculated exactly uh not in a bad way it's just

they're i don't know i don't know how to say it they were just much more careful i actually have my thought that some people were on a I'm doing everything perfect so I could potentially be the bachelor actually that is actually my thought but I won't I'm doing interviews now go ahead I love it

I was going to ask you I'll be very honest about this Ben Ben you said it on the podcast last week I was being facetious when I said it on the podcast last week but I was really thinking about this and I was like I really feel like he's

playing the part to if he doesn't make it in the end he could be the next bachelor. People are already talking about it. It's hard to say with him because of his background. The man's a militant. He's very like strategic

and how he does things. The man stripped down naked. You know what I mean? Like I and then said that that's what I tweeted about it. I saw his butt cheeks for way too long. I was the worst angle. That's all I was thinking about was you guys sitting in back of him

just having to stare at his ass this entire time. Listen, during that date, I saw cheeks. They placed me right behind. that modeling couple that was naked, they placed me right behind the guy. So I saw, I saw butt cheeks for like four hours straight. Bennett put you there.

You did not see yourself there. Don't even start. I love that part. I'm sorry. That part is so funny. Dude, you're making this up. And you just like took it. You were just like, oh, okay.

Okay, what was I about to do? Flip the table over? No, no, no. Honestly, though. In that moment, I probably would have been the same person because I don't like conflict. I don't want to deal with bullshit.

so I would have been like, okay, whatever. Fuck it. I don't care. I did my best to stay out of it. I just had to react to it, to be honest. You played it right. You played it the way you were supposed to. But that was funny. That was a funny moment.

Hey, I didn't know he kissed her. That's the thing. That was the smoothest move he's done. It was a little, it was questionable because she didn't know who it was. But it was, I mean, bold and smooth, I'd say. You guys have similarities. You and Bennett have some similar traits. They're trying to call me Bennett and give a similarity.

I'm not. I'm not. I wouldn't give you that crown. But I'm just saying, no, but no, really, y'all have some similarities. Well, in a good way. You know, Noah, with all due respect, I don't think you can take Bennett's crown that he holds in Rachel's eyes. But I think you're winning her over a little bit. I will say that. I hate to shut it down, but I can't take Bennett's crown, but I did take his chateau. Oh, okay. Oh, I moved down. That's Noah. in Chateau. Listen, this is the the vibes have never been

right like they were when I took over Shattel. Did he leave some face masks behind for you? I had the fireplaces going all the time. Not because it wasn't hot enough. It's just because I love to look at him. Lights down. I mean, Benin's Chateau was no more. Actually, I think as he walked out, my chirp that I did say was thanks for

warming up the Chateau. Oh, Noah's Nest. Noah's Nest. It just took a page out to play a handbook. I love it. The name tag changed from Benetian. to Noah. I had two rooms, actually. Well, that sounds like a highlight right there. We're totally going to let you go, but I have to say this because I want to give

our Bachelor happy listener, our Bachelor Happy Hour listeners a tease. Men tell all, who's the star? Oh, shoot. And I use Star loosely, just like, yeah, what does Star mean? It gets juicy on so many levels. It gets intense. It gets emotional. It gets angry.

a lot of yelling I mean there is so many different emotions going on it's just a glass box of emotions really the whole thing so I'll rephrase it yeah go ahead because who's the person who's fighting for their spot on Paradise that's usually the way they say oh okay okay

Kenny okay yeah Kenny listen Kenny's very outspoken I know I like that yeah it's got to be Kenny then it's got to be Kenny he was I mean he was out he was out to play We will see Kenny We will see Kenny Walking down the shores

I mean people make fun of me For me having spiky hair Kenny's hair as he was yelling Was getting pointier and pointier It was just going All of you men Your hair Is all so tall

Like I don't know how Half of you get the height That you do on your head Like what products I'll send you the regimen I told you I'll send you the regimen Herbalessence is great Quit quit

Quit using your blow dryer so much too Okay Cut out the blow dryer What was it that? Wait, was it Noah that was the messiest? Who said that? Spencer? Spencer said that. That's because I thought I was going home every night, so I never unpacked. It's tricky. How am I going to unpack when I think I'm going home every single night? All right. Noah, I dare I say this, but I enjoyed the conversation. I'm not going to lie. I am not. I enjoyed the conversation. I thought it was great. You're a lot of fun. It's nice to get the insight from you that maybe some things that we didn't get to see. And Becca and I understand this.

We've been on both sides of it. We know that not everything is shown. And you kind of just pick aside based on the two hours you see on TV when you're filming seven days a week. But thank you for being like taking it all with fun and, you know, coming on the show, even when we give you a bit of a hard time. I'm still, I'm still team Bennett, but I'll be damned if I don't. like, no, a little bit now. Hopefully he did not scare you away. No, you guys are awesome.

And honestly, the whole thing, yeah, it was crazy. Definitely some punches left and right. But at the end, I, you know, I wouldn't change it. I thought it was awesome. Can't wait to see the Popsicle House. I'm going to find it. I'm going to find it's the biggest letdown. This thing had like a foundation.

It was structural. No, it had architectural roofing. This thing was. Maybe that was a matter. foundation. Maybe that was the match for the fact. Do we just landed on fire? I don't know what they did with it.

I want to say once I left, the men burned it as like a vigil. But I don't know. I don't know. They had to get all that good juju up in there. Hey, actually, the one thing before you let me go, the one thing since you guys were talking about Ben,

we talked about body by Ben when we all worked out. That's what we called it, body by Ben, because he was our impersoner. We never talked about body by Noah. when we didn't want to work out. And here he comes. Which body by Noah was, you know what?

I'm not feeling it today. Body by Noah, lay at the pool with some chardonnay and a floaty. That's the body by Noah. And it's undervalued. It really is. Oh, no, it's not. I would have probably been a part of that program. I would have joined the body by Noah.

That's why you would see me every other rose ceremony. I just looked darker and dark and you're like, what is this guy, just sleeping outside? That's what I wanted to say. I was watching with a couple of girlfriends last night and everyone's like, why is Noah so tan? And I'm like, well, he's been laying by the pool. He's either talking

to bed or laying by the pool 24-7. Yeah, so. All right, body by Noah. I can't wait to see these workout videos on Instagram. We'll work on it for BIP because I can't be showing up looking like I do now. See, he's already there. No, no, no, no, no.

We know what we'll see. We'll see you back on the podcast, Noah. Noah, you've been so much fun. thank you for everything that you do just on camera but then also off camera in your profession truly I know you don't want to talk about it

so we'll talk about it for you but thank you we can't thank you enough for being in a single work to see you thank you for coming on today thanks we having on here is a blast Becca what did you think what you think I will say

I mean I've always like tried to be to play devil's advocate if you will and I'm not going to lie I have loved Bennett this entire season. He did start to rub me the wrong way. So I'm glad that we were at least able to have Noah on to explain his side and his take. Because like you said with him, like, what you see is not always what you get.

And there's so much that you have to film into, like, clip into a certain storyline. And there's a lot more that we did not, I think, get to see or hear of him. So I'm glad that we had him on today. I mean, you're right. I felt like I was cheating on Bennett the entire time I was talking to Noah. I mean, listen, did Noah kind of win me over a bit? Yeah, he made a little dent in me. I'm not saying that I'm going to follow him into the arc two by two,

but I definitely, I was, I had fun with him. Let's just put it like that. Pescently surprised. Yes, I was pleasantly surprised. And you know what, guys, I hope you were to. I hope you had fun listening to Noah and, of course, hanging out with us today.

right now. 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, denial's easier, complex problem solving, takes effort.
