Welcome back to you back to the happy hour. We are here for part two of Taylor Frankie Paul's cast Bios.

And as usual, let's get right into it. Okay, moving on. All right. We have Josh, Provo, Utah, sales manager in age 28. So this is one of our younger ones. Is he the youngest one? Don't know. Doug is 282.

Okay. He's energetic, positive, and he has a deep love of dad jokes. Okay, cool. Josh is a romantic ready for his fairy tale ending. He runs in the similar circles as our bachelorette. Okay, so what does that exactly mean? He is single as a pringle. Great, clearly. I would hope so.

But he's ready for that air to be over. You never know what these men. No, exactly. I'm like, what's the secret at home? He enjoys swing dancing. Okay. Come on now. Watching football, hitting the golf course.

Is he Mormon? Yeah, I missed that. He is Mormon. Okay. So they might have, okay, some similarities there, but also, like, we don't know. We did mention that Taylor might be, you know, maybe wanting to steer away or not be as, like, committed to that anymore. So we'll see how that plays out.

he is a Disney adult. Okay. So I am, you know, I'm sensitive to that because they did say that about me. They said, I want to live inside of Cinderella's castle. I said, wait a minute. When did I say that? So, yeah, I got labeled as a Disney adult. Like, that was like before I even graced everyone's TV.

Which is crazy. I'm from Orlando. I feel like I should have that title. Right. So I'm like, okay. But hey, I'm taking that one with a grain of salt. He attends the Tulip Festival in Utah every year with his grandma. Okay, that is so sweet.

Very, very cute and wholesome. and he loves indulge in a peanut butter burger. I never had one of those. I don't know how I'm talking about that. Do you want to know my thoughts? I think he goes home night one because if Taylor wanted to date this man, she would have dated him.

And I think it's a different situation. My first thought went back to Michelle Young, how she had someone that she knew from Minnesota. But with Michelle, there was already that romantic interest. I think he like ghosts or there's some ghosting situation. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. This guy,

giving she knows you she's going to recognize you what are you doing here you're going to go what do you think yeah you said night one night one i think i think so well now that you said it i'm like you you connected the dots with this running in similar circles i think so too oh okay like she knows you i think he's young but like not her type young mm-hmm and the more men they live in the same place. I mean, it would be realistically probably like, yeah, this is a good match. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But he doesn't seem exciting enough for her. I agree. Okay. On to the next. Maybe we'll see your thoughts. I don't have any. We'll see you on Mormon wives. Right. Okay. Let's get our next guy. Next. We have Kevin. He's from Miami, Florida. He's a physical

therapist and he's 32. Hello. Pretty handsome. Green brown eyes, brown hair, looks kind of tall. He's a, oh, is he a doctor? It says paging doctor love. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I love a doctor. He's doctorate degree. I love that.

All right. Am I making that up? Nope, yes, I am. Okay, I can't read clearly. He wants to raise a big family. Love that. What is navigating a fake dating scene. Okay.

Kevin is keeping it real. I do appreciate that because I'm like, I guess he means dating has not been. Yeah, but when men say that, which I feel like it is a big, uh-oh, come on, Rachel, tell us more. But you know what men say that? It's like, they're like, oh, you know, like dating is so, like, it's like you're the problem most of the time. Yeah. Yeah. I'm curious. He seems really like wholesome though. Like, I know. And this is first glance. I know. I'm like looking just at the photo. He seems like he has his life together. He seems well Like he wants to

Or he loves sharing Cuban food And speaks And speaking Spanish with his family Okay Bilingual And hoping to create Yeah I do love this

He's happiest when he's well fed Me too He dreams of swimming with Hammerhead sharks We can introduce him That's going to be a date I'm like that's going to be a date True

If he gets far enough He will have his date He loves to cry listening to Dave Matthews band. You're a doctor, so I like you, but you do have some things that I'm like, I'm not sure of. Yeah. He seems very like achievement oriented, which is not a bad thing.

Clearly he's a doctor, but I'm, yeah, I'm curious to see how he might do well on if he goes past night one, like group date settings. He looks handsome and tall. He has that, like, Dakota look. We're comparing everyone to. No, I'm like, everyone with brown hair. Dakota. Dakota.

Like, I'm sorry, Taylor. but like that's the only thing I have to go off of. I don't know what her ex-husband looks like. We probably shouldn't look that up. Okay, moving on. Okay, we have Lou from a Salt Lake City, Utah. Insurance tech founder, 32. Who?

Why am I blushing? You have to say the most important fact of all. I know, I'm blushing because of this fact. Standing at 6.8. How tall is not in? He is exactly 6A. Hello. We say, okay.

On the show, we said 6-7. But he's been, I'm like, he went to the dog. I'm like, did this man grow an inch? So he's 6-8 as a help. Please stop growing, number one. So we said, this man is going top three. Just for the fact that he's 6-8. I mean, hello, we all love a tree to climb.

Yeah. Lou seems like he has it all together. Former basketball player. Okay, so him and Taylor have that in common. She apparently, didn't she just do, was it the All-Star basketball game? Yes, she did. okay so she used to play basketball that's going to be great a lot of his friends are married and has kids but he wants to like have his own i do love them

he's a believer yeah no i'm like all his facts are great i mean i love him he loves bruncher with the boys he won a twerking competition i said okay working in time and you're from salt lake city Utah how like that do you think he's Mormon Yeah. He might be, but I mean, maybe he grew up Mormon and he doesn't really, you know, it's either some stay on the path, some find their own. So maybe he's on his own. It doesn't, we don't see it in the bio. But he's up for a bit of venture down for anything. Yeah, he, I like him. I don't have nothing else to say beside it. I like him. I taught four. Uh-huh. He's going far. Yeah. We like you, Lou. I feel like we've been shitting on everyone this entire time. Yeah. And 30. it was a good age. I feel like that's a really good age. It's like, and he went from former basketball player to having, he founded an insurance tech company. Love. So he has a job. Hello. I was going to say he got over his athletic identity crisis because a lot of them go through that,

which bless their hearts, that is hard to move from. And that's all you know, but it was a working man. Yes, a lot of the viewers are like, I think under the impression also that all these men have jobs. And that is just not the case. And especially on my season, there were so many things we all had to learn the hard way. So the fact that like we are seeing like older jobs, hopefully apartments, hopefully cars, like this is looking promising for Taylor. So we're big fans. All right, Lou, top three. Top three.

Top three. I said top three. Okay. Cool. Okay. You take it away. Next man. We have Malik from Brooklyn, New York.

He's a tech executive 30. A lot of guys in tech, which is, I think that's a good job, right? Yes. That's a great job. He is ready for love at first bite. Is he a foodie? I mean, he lives in New York, right? Oh, he loves to cook.

He's outgoing. He's loyal and he's romantic. He is excited that Taylor is a mom because he loves kids and can picture a future filled with school dropouts, pickups, and family. Hello. Okay. Sounds like you're going to be. Perfect.

She loves all things Halloween. He wants had a Mohawk, but he won't show you a picture. And he has a playlist for every occasion. What are your thoughts on? Okay. So he loves music. He loves music. He loves food.

He loves kids. Very, very romantic. So, yeah, I like him. I don't really feel like I have much to go off of besides his, you know, with his bio. But his, he seems pretty handsome, well-dressed. We like that. I like this post that he's doing. No, it's like, hello, I pledge allegiance.

But to what? What do we pledge allegiance to? Hello. He's very handsome. But I don't have a thought on him, so I'm trusting your job. I don't either. I feel like he's like, he's giving me a little like, I want to know more, like mysterious a little bit.

I want to know a lot more. But I think he goes pretty, I don't want to say far. I feel like he's in the middle of the pat. Okay. Week three. Yeah. See week three, Malik. Okay.

Let's do our next guy. Okay. Okay. Mr. Marcus. Did you just read Malik's? I can do this one. That one was short. Okay.

Okay. We have another New Yorker here. This is Marcus from Elmont, New York. And he's a creative director, also 28. So I did not think that seeing his picture. He looks older to me. He looks a lot. Yeah, not in a bad way, but just a little more mature.

It says, get ready to slam dunk with Marcus. He is also a former basketball player, turn creative director and has a passion for fashion music and shooting hoops. He wants a deep connection. He wants to feel the spark. And his idea of a perfect date is watching the sunset over the Brooklyn skyline with a glass of wine and good music. I love that.

I like this a lot. I like him. He once got attacked by a bird while in a run. Oh, no. He loves a good rooftop vibe. And his favorite food is pancakes. All green flags. I like him.

I really like Marcus. Yeah. I'm curious to know more about Mark. creative director so he's very into the arts i think that is like i mean i feel like that would be in line with taylor and you know everything that she's doing um yeah they sound like a match they really do yeah let's see if they hit it off he might i mean he might be a first impression but i doubt it i doubt first impression but i'm like based off his bio and like they seem like they have you know things in common

And he kind of has it all at 28 too. A lot of basketball players, a lot of ex-pro athletes. But it sounds like you said, he did the transition really well. Now he's in something creative, but she's also creative. I hope that they get the time to talk because a lot of times these men slip through the cracks and you don't get to know anything about them. Exactly. So I'm like, I'm curious to know what his limo entrance will be.

Maybe he does something fun. And that's like impactful that, you know, she'll think about when it's talking. him. I like this man. We like Marcus. Okay. Top 10. If she gets to talk to him. For sure. I'd say top, yeah, top 10 or 12. All right. Great. Next man. Matt. We have Matt from Carmel, Indiana, real estate broker, 43. Okay. He's our oldest, I want to say. He is. Okay. If Taylor's looking for a big dad energy, she'll find it with Matt. Oh my God. He's a proud father of three. He's also six-eight.

Okay, two six-eighters. This is crazy. I love this for her. Aw. Okay. He's grown up in Guatemala City and the UK. He's traveled the world, but this is the most outrageous thing he's done. Isn't it all for all of us?

And then literally his, oh, my God, his kids obviously bring him the most joy. This is very sweet. Okay. So right off the bat, I took note, 6A. he is a proud father of three so that's three kids that would be a blended family he is so far the oldest one of the cast yes so that could be a really good thing but is that something that taylor we're referencing back again is she going to want to like truly be like let's settle down let's get everything let's cut no drama like you know what i mean i don't see that happening i could be wrong

and i sometimes love being proven wrong i i have to agree. I mean, I'm actually curious if he's the oldest person in Bachelor. He's like, that's 43. We barely get a 30 year old. Yeah, now that you said that, I think he might. It's going to seem to me, and maybe I'm like you said wrong, that he's coming in. He's well traveled. He's in real estate. He has three kids. He's like settled down in life. And I think he's just looking for someone who's ready to like settle down. Taylor's. She just, I mean, her life is so exciting. She has so much happening. This would be a family of six, right off the bat. Yeah.

I don't think their lives are going to work together for that reason. I would love to see it. Obviously, like, I think he would be a grounding for someone that she would probably need. He's also, like, Midwestern. I just, I don't know if I see it as a match. What do you think? Yeah, I feel like he probably has a lot more of a slower-paced life. Not in a bad way, but just, like, in comparison or contrast to Taylor, I think they are

probably, like, polar opposites. They probably, obviously, at the root of it all, they both want to find their person. are they each other's person i don't i'm not confident in that but i could be wrong he is six eight um yeah he's i can make a lot of things work if you're six eight so i mean for that reason alone i think once they sit if they had a one-on-one date i feel like that's kind of where she might like be like i don't realize connects but if we're just going off vibes and height and looks alone i mean he's attractive i could see him going he's middle he's great on paper this is this is nothing to take away from that he's just i just don't know of like him and taylor and i again i think

she might still just be a little bit caught up in the oh i want to have like fun i want to like and not to say that he doesn't want to have fun but just her lifestyle i think might be a little bit different than what maybe couldn't agree more celebrate your pride with the station that's as bold vibrant and diverse as you are i heart pride kinda from dance anthems to pop icons and hits from two s ls ls ls ls BTQ plus Canadian artists.

What if mind control is real? If you can control the behavior of anybody around you, what kind of life would you have? Can you hypnotically persuade someone to buy a car? When you look at your car, you're going to become overwhelmed with such good feelings. Can you hypnotize someone into sleeping with you? I gave her some suggestions to be sexually aroused. Can you get someone to join your cult? NLP was used on me to access my subconscious. NLP, aka neurolinguistic programming,

is a blend of hypnosis, linguistics, and psychology. Fans say it's like finally getting a user manual for your brain. It's about engineering consciousness. Mind games is the story of NLP. It's crazy cast of disciples and the fake doctor who invented it at a new age commune and sold it to guys in suits.

He stood trial for murder and got acquitted. The biggest mind game of all, NLP, might actually work. This is wild. Listen to mind games on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What do you do in the headlines

don't explain what's happening inside of you? I'm Ben Higgins, and if you can hear me, is where culture meets the soul, a place for real conversation. Each episode, I sit down with people from all walks of life, celebrities, thinkers, and everyday folks, and we go deeper than the polished story. We talk about what drives us, what shapes us, and what gives us hope. We get honest about the big stuff, identity when you don't recognize yourself anymore,

loss that changes you, purpose when success isn't enough, peace when your mind won't slow down, faith when it's complicated. Some guests have answers. Most are still figuring it out. If you've ever felt like there has to be more to the story, this show is for you. Listen to if you can hear me on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. China's Ministry of State Security is one of the most mysterious and powerful spy agencies in the world. But in 2017, the FBI got inside. This is Special Agent Regal, Special Agent Bradley Hall. This MSS officer has no idea the U.S. government is on to him. But the FBI has his chats, texts, emails, even his personal diary.

Hear how they got it on the Sixth Bureau podcast. I now have several terabytes of an MSS officer, no doubt, no question, of his life. And that's a unicorn. No one had ever seen anything like that. It was unbelievable. This is a story of the inner workings of the MSS and how one man's ambition and mistakes opened its fault of secrets.

Listen to the Sixth Bureau on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hi, this is Joe Winterstein, host of the Spirit Daughter podcast, where we talk about astrology, natal charts, and how to step into your most vibrant life. And I just sat down with a mini-dictorpeer. driver. The Irish traveler said when I was 16, you're going to have a terrible time with men. Actor, storyteller, and unapologetic Aquarian visionary. Aquarius is all about freedom-loving and

different perspectives. And I find a lot of people with strong placements in Aquarius are misunderstood. A son and Venus and Aquarius in her seventh house spark her unconventional approach to partnership. He really has taught me to embrace people sleeping in different rooms on different houses. is in different places, but just an embracing of the isness of it all. If you're navigating your own transformation or just want to chart side view into how a leading artist integrates astrology, creativity, and real life, this episode is a must listen. Listen to the Spirit Daughter podcast starting on February 24th on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to your podcast.

All right, Charity, you're going to love this next one. Okay, first of all, he's the only man on this list that is his full name. Michael Baba. Like, does he go by Michael Baba? Is my saying this right? Michael Baba. Is it? Michael Baba.

Honestly, it's very, this is so funny to me. Go ahead. So he's very interesting. Well, we're starting off with your favorite city, San Diego, California. Here we are. And 36, he's a chiropractic healer. What does that mean? Is that like Riki, like healing?

It could be. Yeah, yeah. Because it starts out by saying he wants to see if there are good vibrations between him and Taylor. And his healing time is all about good times, good energy, and the right connection. He loves to hang out, kiteboard. He has a Greek family. He likes meditating. He's giving very, like, grounded.

Yeah. And I'm very into it, like that kind of like woo-woo maybe. I love it. It's probably what Taylor needs. Not in a bad way. We all need her other one of one. Healing. Come on.

Let's calm ourselves. I love it. It says he's using his intuition to guide him through the Bachelet chapter. And I mean, right off the bat with this bio. I want to hold. Yes. Yes. No, you go.

You go. I can come back. Because you just said it. Like you read it and it like, it like registered something in my body. I don't know what. Tell me. Tell me charity. He reminds.

Okay. I'm switching gears for a second. Did anybody watch Love is blind? the UK where he said he's trusting his spleen. Yes. Why do I feel like it's the same thing? I could be so wrong. That comparison was something I would have never pulled and you are so correct.

He's giving like when they start out with this, it reminds me also of like, remember when Prisa came and they had all like the crystal edit? Yes. They painted her very like hippie like woo woo. Correct. She's like not necessarily. He's getting that edit. He's going to get like the crazy.

guy on it. Aw. And he loves fantasy novels. But I just feel like his bio alone, you can tell how they're going to start painting them. Yeah. I'm hoping that's not the case. But I'm like, it just depends on how much he leans into that. Because, you know, like, they could totally be like, this is such a, like, unique, like,

career path to us more. And then, like, he, like, obviously seems like someone who's very passionate about what he does. So, like, he might just talk about it. And then it gets spun that way. I am hopeful that it's not. because I also don't want that to be a bad rep for people like in like those spaces. And I love it. Like I, I'm so here.

I do the meditations. Like, I love it. But you know how the bachelor loves to spin you into also like your job is like your life. Like yeah, I'm not only a pilot. Like that's the way I feel like they presented me. So hopefully he, you know, gets to show his personality a little. Okay.

We're, we're reading for you, Michael. I don't know. Michael Baba. Yeah. Let me not. let me say the whole name Michael Bobba. I don't know. I have no thoughts on where he's going to place because I feel like they're kind of going to make a little bit of like a spectrum of him.

I feel like it might be maybe night one. But 36 is a good age. 36 is a good age. I like it. And he's attractive. Yeah. He really is attractive. Yeah.

Pan. I'm like he kind of falls in the Dakota. He's in the Dakota. Yes. We should start a Dakota Cal. He's in the Dakota count. I want to, I want to like get rid of the Dakota. for Taylor's sake.

You know, Taylor, we understand it. Sometimes you just have a tie. We have to move past Dakota. We have to. There's nothing else. We have to do that first. Okay. Please don't get mad at us.

We love you. No, truly. Listen, this is all. I'm saying this out of love. Yes. Nothing but love and wanting this to work. Mm-hmm. Please, we can't.

We want you with the ring. The Neil Lane. Okay. Mike T. He's from. Lavalette, New Jersey. I like it. Yeah, LaValette.

Brand protection manager. What does that mean? He's 36. He looks 36. Not to be mean, but he looks like an older man. Handsome. And with that being said, he's a reformed bad boy. Please, dear God, if you're 36 years old, do not say that.

Wait, I didn't even read that. Hold on. Did I just completely gloss over that? Uh-huh. You did. Easygoing New Jersey native. Reformed bad boy, I rebuke it in the name. Yeah, I don't know if I would say that. He'd wait to settle down.

Okay, listen, I get it because I'm like, also, he is Jersey. So I'm like, Jersey probably naturally has that rep. Yeah. I wouldn't, I would not, yeah, I don't know. But you know what? He probably didn't say that. We're going to, like, we're going to put that one on Bachelor. I'm taking that one with a grain of salt.

I'm taking with a grain of salt. We will give you a grain of salt. He loves Sopranos. He's from New Jersey. I wonder if he's Italian. I'm Italian. Italian men, they're very family, like, family-oriented. Love their mothers.

I love that. I think we need, you know, like a nice little Italian boy. I love that. He says he's ready to embrace a father figure role. So that means he's open. I think maybe he already knows that about Taylor. He has a niece and nephew. Yeah.

Okay. He's addicted to aquifer. Same. I like him, but, you know, we'll see. he's his best self on a wedding dance floor so that means he might be the life of the party he goes to a lot of weddings okay maybe his own wedding is in the near future yes we shall see okay um i don't know i want to place him in the middle but he might also be early like maybe a week two or three but i'll put him in the middle as like my highest highest i'm gonna say early i just don't i don't know i don't see it with you there

Yeah. Okay. Next man. Richard. Charleston, South Carolina, photographer age 35. Okay. He has a kind, he seems very, like, soft, but like, intriguing from the photo alone. I think it's a purple shirt. Yeah, I think so, too. I'm like, it's getting very photographer. His pose, too, is giving so photographer. It's so photographer. for he's artsy he's looking down for or he's looking to settle down with someone who gives him I'm finally home feeling I love that um a lot of his friends are settled down so his biggest goal

right now is to get married and start a family of his own his faith plays a central role in his life I wonder is he Mormon he's in South Carolina so I'm not sure Charleston's an active practicing Mormon community I feel like that's like Christian boy well I mean Mormonism I think falls under the umbrella of Christianity so correct that's a a good point. She could be like as long as you have a strong faith. Right. I love that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So listen, they might, they might hit it all. You know, I think so too. He's soft spoken. And my work, okay, I remember when we were at the, oh my God, one of my, the bachelorette when we were all together. That was my one thing. I was like, never forget about the guys who might be soft spoken

or a little bit more reserved. Like when you have or when you finally have one-on-one conversations with them, those are the ones that surprise you the most. So I, I was like, I was like, I'm Taylor, hopefully you listen to me. Yeah, no, that you and does. And I feel like you too are like some of the most successful in this franchise. Like the loudest one in the room is the one that she, I believe, is going to be attracted to. But yeah, Richard, like from the South, like he loves Thanksgiving. He's thankful for Thanksgiving.

It says, I like him. I think he's handsome. I do too. I want him to go far. I would like you to go top five. But like unless she listened to you, I don't know. I know. I'm like, my only thing is like I'm hesitant because I'm like the soft spoken one sometimes

do get looked over. And it's like he seems like he's going to fall in those categories. If he doesn't go far, that she's going to send home too early. And it's like, ah, unless he does something insane. But I don't get those vibes from him. I think I'm reading for you, Richard. Yeah. Okay.

Next man. We have Rod. He's from Austin, Texas. He's an entrepreneur, and he's 35. What is entrepreneur? It's anything these days. I don't like that. Technically, Rachel, we're entrepreneurs.

I'm not an entrepreneur. I hate when they say that they're that. I'm like, please just tell me what you do. No, exactly. Give me a full job. That means they have probably like 17 businesses. That's what that means. That's true.

Okay. He is a big personality. So he's going to be the life of the party. Oh, he's served in the military for. 17 years. Thank you for your service. Thank you for your service. Um, oh, it, it says here he started his own business supporting kids in the foster care system after I just made fun of them. Help me. No. Rod, I formally apologize. They give entrepreneur a bad name, but you really are one. That's actually so, like, you. I admire that so much because the foster care system is,

In 2023, a story gripped the UK, evoking horror and disbelief. The nurse who should have been in charge of caring for tiny babies is now the most prolific child killer in modern British history. Everyone thought they knew how it ended. A verdict, a villain, a nurse named Lucy Letby. Lucy Letby has been found guilty.

But what if we didn't get the whole story? The moment you look at the whole picture, the case collapses. I'm Amanda Knox, and in the new podcast, doubt the case of Lucy Letby, we follow the evidence and hear from the people that lived in, to ask what really happened when the world decided who Lucy Lettby was. No voicing of any skepticism or doubt. It'll cause so much harm at every single level of the British establishment of this is wrong. Listen to doubt the case of Lucy Lettby on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Okay. Let's do. Okay, we have Ron. We only have two more. Oh, okay. Ron, he's from San Francisco, California, and he's an account executive. He's 28 as well. He is looking for someone self-aware.

and someone that's capable of loving unconditionally like his parents. He grew up in the Philippines and he speaks fluent Tagalog with his, it was his first language. He loves taking pride in Filipino cooking, very cultured. He's best friends with her, his mom and he hopes to make her proud by going on her favorite show. That is so sweet. I like him.

And he aspired to be Troy Bolton when he grew up. I mean the most green. He's sweet. He seems like an angel. I feel like San Francisco. Yeah. That's very like big with businesses. Bay Area.

Yeah. Like he is doing well with work immediately. Having immigrant parents. Like I feel like. Hard work. Yeah. Automatically. Yeah.

Absolutely. Like very, listen, this is what got me. Is looking for someone. one self-aware, kind, family-oriented, and capable of loving unconditionally. I'm like, these are all great qualities, like, to be looking for. Self-awareness is huge. I'm like, I am a big advocate for all sides, truly all sides. But you know how many people lack self-awareness?

Do you understand, Rachel, that that is so hard? Yes. She's like, yes. I'm like, myself included at times. Like it is just such a hard thing that like for people to really just be like so in tune with themselves. But I love that he put that as like one of the first like qualities. He has a great bio. Ron, yeah.

Ron, this is a fantastic bio. We're rooting for you. I want you to go far. But if not, I also have someone that I could definitely set you up with. So hit me up after. Oh, wait. Can you tell me after her? I should go.

Okay. Okay. Okay. wait also this next person i'm literally sweating i think the most handsome on the cast for sure take it away this man is beautiful he's from atlanta georgia southern boy okay georgia represent yes and he's a private wealth planner sounds like a good job and he's young he's 28 28 okay okay what else he is outgoing athletic and has a heart of gold. He says he's never met a stranger thanks to his natural ability to connect with about

anyone. He's a yapper. He calls his, he wants a future wife who is ride or die. He's loyal to the people he loves. He's close with family. Sounds like a great guy. He loves Uno.

He's not working. Yep. He's trying new restaurants, hitting the beach, squeezing the workout. Total relationship guy. he seems almost and I say this is not this is like my my one rule like nothing is never too good because that was like dot and I'm like he's too perfect but I'm like no he's just perfect that's what he's giving he's giving like everything makes so much sense that it's like what am I missing you know do you get that vibe no I this bio is literally perfection and the fact that he's like

from the south you know he's like is probably so close with his family work working and And to be, I mean, private wealth planner that sounds like, I mean, at 28, it sounds like the job is there, the looks are there. He's giving, I think, out of everyone on here, like, the most potential, I feel like would be a great match for her. I love him. I was going to say he was giving Bachelor too, but then we just said that about Ron. So. Yeah. But like in terms of like, yeah, he's giving.

He's giving Bachelor to me. I, yeah. If he doesn't go home early, I feel like she's going to end up with him. Why is it like Grant? This is like Grant 2.0. Do you think he looks like Korean? I mean, he doesn't, but he kind of fits like just the build a little bit. You know what I mean?

No. I don't think so. Rachel said, no, no, no. I'm like, please don't compare that. If Shane's the Bachelor would go on his season? You know what? I would probably do a lot of things. But I don't think I would do that.

I don't think I would do that, but I mean, I really feel like he is a good fit for Taylor. Yeah, I agree. He's a little younger, though. Either or. I think she, listen, we already said, I think she likes the younger ones. How old is Dakota? I'm sorry. I hate to bring, I hate to bring it back into conversation.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, because I'm very curious, if there's an age gap there or if she's older than him. There's nothing wrong with that. I think she's 20 or no, she's 30, right? Oh, he's 32. too. Oh, okay. So I'm curious.

Maybe that's why we keep thinking he's young. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I wonder if, okay, then, yeah, she might, I don't think she's opposed to anything. I think she's willing to try it all. But I like Shane. I think he has potential to either be Bachelor or he's definitely going to be in top four or top three. Uh-huh. Yeah.

Yeah, either I think I'll say I think either she ends up with him or he's Bachelor. Mm-hmm. Out of everyone on this list, you, like, scroll past his, and it just kind of is, like, very stereotypical. This man would be our bachelor. You know, I hate to even bring this up, too. Like, this is a crazy comparison I'm about to say. But it's also giving him, like, I wonder if he's going to be one that really stands out on

night one. Like, do you think he has potential for first impression rose? Uh-huh. Yeah. I think we, should we call it now? I think so. I'm like his, yeah, his natural ability to connect with. anyone. I'm like, those are the ones that do so good on night one. Like, granted. I'm like,

wait, who was your first? Did y'all do first? Who was your first? Yeah, it was Tino. But my night, it was like also me and Gabby's night was so weird because the men, they still weren't sure who they wanted. So they were playing very like end of the couch, like didn't want to like make a decision. So everyone just kind of felt like that's, I'm not saying anything, but I feel like Tino just new early on. So that's like what were my choices. Got it, got it, got it. Got it. You know, Gabby and I ceased to just had a lot of powwls and twisted turns. So, um, first and pressure roads winner and bachelor.

Yeah. We're calling Shane. You're going to do big things. Can't wait to see more of you and hear about your story. He will be, yeah, he will be in Bachelor nation. He'll be around for a minute. Yes. Yes. Welcome, Shane. Yeah. Nice to have you. Well, we'll see you on the cruise. See you next November. Okay. Last man.

Oh my gosh. It's 22. This is like the shortest, like, is this the least amount of ever? Yeah. 22 is so little. Okay. This guy, I actually, I put some stars by him. He's a three-time Paralympian.

This is Trenton. Amazing. From San Juan Casas. Capistrano. California. now and he is a pro athlete 35 professional athlete and three-time Paralympian. He knows what it takes to push through challenges. He's chasing a gold medal of a different kind love.

When he's not training, he's spending time with his German Shepherd. He has a dog, listens to country music. I mean, I like him. I think he's very handsome, athletic. He has a dog. I feel like Taylor's really going to like him. I think he's going to go pretty far. he's thinking. Yeah. I think he's going to go far too. And like at least maybe top six.

Mm-hmm. Is that too? Am I reaching for the stars with this one? I mean, he's an Olympian. I know. I feel like that, I mean, this is like, his bio is like, I love. This is like easily going top three. Mm-hmm. I'm wondering. I'm wondering. I'm wondering. He knows what it takes to push through challenges. I mean, that's like, what an opening line. Hello. Life is all about that. Um, yeah. I'm I'm curious to see how they hit it off and what their conversations will be like, but from the looks of it, he seems like he is someone who is, let me not, let me, hopefully this doesn't. I know.

I'm like, for the right reason. We're calling things out left and right. So. I'm scared. We're like, no, literally I'm like. He is the bachelor. No, literally after I just said my discernment's on point. But I'm like, my discernment is on point with me.

I don't know how this is going to mesh with Taylor. He is so for the right reasons. Like he's tall. He's handsome. He's in the Dakota looks category. 35 great age. I mean, being an Olympic athlete, like the amount of dedication and training that goes into that, I feel like it really does hinder your ability to date.

So maybe now he's in the point of his life that that's what he wants. I really think he's going to go really far. That's the thing about these bios. They give you enough, but they don't give you everything, which is like the point. But I'm like, I'm probably missing like one. I guess we're probably missing one piece key information that's going to change our entire like opinion and trajectory how we view them. But you know what?

We'll leave it at that. Trenton, we are rooting for you. I'm reading for literally everybody, truly. But there are some great guys on this cast. Yeah. Educated. Older. Like, I mean, I think this is like, I mean, I would say charity your cast was amazing.

I haven't been impressed with casting in a while. This is like a really impressive cat. Yeah, I'm like hopefully, yeah, I'm like, hopefully this, this cast doesn't let us down. But I feel like they're, they all have like great personalities and they'll shine in their own individual ways, which is what I love to see personally watching, you know, this show. But yeah, here we are. We have a new roster, a new class. I want to see who graduating class.

Yes. Who is going to be the villain? Because I feel like going through that, I don't have anyone, we can call that. That I, that looks like a villain to me. Actually, we lied. We did call the villain. Oh. I thought you said you liked him. No, we said Clayton was the villain.

You don't like him? I do like him, but I'm like, I feel like... I think what is happening as villainous. If, I mean, it's giving like, Stephen, like, tell me lies, like, to do that. One, one... In my point, exactly. So I'm like, I'm trying to be very light with my conversation, my conversation piece right now because I don't want to say anything too judgmental.

If that happens, knowing what we just, correct. Knowing what we know now, and I'm wondering if she finds out somehow middle of the season and it confronts him because I would be G-H-G-G-G-E-D.

I mean, I think she's so much above, like she's married, like, but she definitely knows. I'm talking about Taylor. Oh, Taylor. But that's why I said. I'm like, Taylor might also like that. Like, she might be like,

oh, like, you know, there's some sort of like, a little bit of like some i'm not saying this is she met her she met her which is crazy though that's what i'm saying that would be crazy that is like the one conversation that i hope happens on her season what if it doesn't come up at all would you die it has that's like that's like that would be a fear of mine i'm not going to lie as being in taylor's position but again she i don't know if she's privy enough to like recognize him from like just looking at him and knowing that oh i didn't know i mean i'm saying i wouldn't know that without like exactly so

So if that was kept from me or like he never, yeah, I would feel some type of way. I'm not going to lie. That's like getting off the show and you finding out a secret about someone. Hello. Excuse me. Okay. So we're calling Clayton the villain in our opinion of all these men who we think could be the bachelor and end up with Taylor.

Yeah. Great guys. Great casting. I'm like, I thought it's also maybe one. Yeah. We have to be. We've been through some things. We really have.

Yes. And so I am beyond excited because now we get to see all this play out with our little notes. Oh my gosh. I cannot wait for night one limo entrances. I think knowing now what we know, like we should call out before we do night one like some limo entrance like predictions. Like I think Doug is going to do lifeguarding. It'll be, it'll be good. It's going to be a great season.

We're so excited. And we honestly can't wait to have. men we offended guys on the piece. They're not going to come on now. No, they will. It'll make the conversation that much better. I'm excited. Honestly, you guys can check us if we were wrong. Because we're going off these. We're going off of the bachelor bios. And I think for a lot of us, it gave people the wrong impressions of all of us. So I am, I'm okay with admitting that I'm wrong. I am. So come on this podcast. We can't wait to have all of you guys and really get into the nitty-gritty of the behind the scenes and everything and how you guys's journeys went.

But that's it for today. I'm, listen, that was a good cast breakdown. Yes. I love it. Thank you guys for listening. Apologies to the men out there. We can't wait to have you on. And thank you for listening to Bachelor Happy Hour.
