Starting point is 00:00:00 This is an I-Heart podcast. My boyfriend's professor is way too friendly, and now I'm seriously suspicious. Wait a minute, Sam. Maybe her boyfriend's just looking for extra credit. Well, Dakota, luckily, it's back to school week on the OK Storytime podcast, so we'll find out soon. This person writes, my boyfriend's been hanging out with his young professor a lot. He doesn't think it's a problem, but I don't trust her. Now he's insisting we get to know each other, but I just want her gone.
Starting point is 00:00:25 Hold up. Isn't that against school policy? That seems inappropriate. Maybe find out how it ends by listening to the OK Storytime podcast and the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman, host of the Psychology Podcast. Here's a clip from an upcoming conversation about how to be a better you. When you think about emotion regulation, you're not going to choose an adaptive strategy which is more effortful to use unless you think there's a good outcome. Avoidance is easier. Ignoring is easier. Denials is easier. Complex problem solving. Takes effort. Listen to the psychology podcast on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:01:07 It's important that we just reassure people that they're not alone, and there is help out there. The Good Stuff podcast, Season 2, takes a deep look into One Tribe Foundation, a non-profit fighting suicide in the veteran community. September is National Suicide Prevention Month, so join host Jacob and Ashley Schick as they bring you to the front lines of One Tribe's mission. One Tribe saved my life twice. Welcome to Season 2 of the Good Stuff. Listen to the Good Stuff podcast on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Welcome back, guys. We are excited because we have another great episode for you today.
Starting point is 00:01:44 We are finally done airing Bachelor's The Greatest Seasons Ever. And listen, while it was a good time to relive all those amazing memories and to check in with some old friends, we're kind of happy it's over. and I'll tell you why because this is no shade no shade because I know what you guys are going to say and I know what you're going to take that comment as but hear me out here if you're familiar with the Bachelor world
Starting point is 00:02:07 then you know when one good thing comes to an end something new and great is right around the corner now you know this franchise never leaves its fans without something dare I say it dramatic to look forward to so if you're saying goodbye to bachelors the greatest seasons ever that means we're starting to count down
Starting point is 00:02:27 to the upcoming season of the Bachelorette and yes you can hear it in my voice we are freaking excited about it because honestly I don't know how it's going to play out um yes exactly I mean you said it best and in this franchise the end of a season it's always of course bittersweet but you know on one hand when one journey ends another begins and so that is coming to us all very soon and, you know, dare I say it, Chris Harrison, every year we hear it says it's going to be the most dramatic season ever. I have a feeling that just might be the case with the upcoming season of The Bachelorette. Now, whether you're in the Bachelor world or not, you've probably heard all of these insane rumors going around about the upcoming season. And believe us, we're also just as
Starting point is 00:03:16 curious as you all are. And more than ever, we're just excited for this thing to start. Finally, I feel Like, you know, it's been great to go down memory lane and recap some of the old seasons. But there's nothing like, I don't even want to say like new fresh meat, but there's nothing like a new season to get us started, especially after this crazy year that we've been having in quarantine. So it's going to give us something to look forward to. And in honor of the upcoming season, we wanted to do something a little bit different and very fun leading up to the premiere. I like that you said fresh meat. I think that's a good term because that is what it is. It is. It's like the new, it's like we're in high school. Let's be honest, people act like
Starting point is 00:03:55 it's high school sometimes. And we've got like the new class coming in. What are they going to look like? How are they going to be? What are their personality is going to be like? Are we going to like? You know what? I mean, it's just so much. And I feel like it's not just us inside of Bastronation. It's the viewers as well. Like, who are we getting? We're all like waiting at the edge of our seats to find out who these new characters are. Yes, I say characters because truly that that's what it is. So on this show, we've had such a blast. We've connecting with some Bachelorette OGs like the one and only Trista. We've had Deanna, our girl.
Starting point is 00:04:27 So we thought, why not keep this train of powerful women chugging along, right? So in anticipation of the new season, over the next few weeks, we will be inviting some of the most cherished bachelorets onto the podcast to celebrate the show and to get us pumped up for what's to come. And I feel it, and I have a feeling that there's going to be so much to come. But in the meantime, for today's episode, we're going to shake things up a little bit and actually rewind if you will
Starting point is 00:04:55 so Rachel and I are going to be playing a fun game that we've never played before it's going to be called whose line is it anyways but Bachelor Bachelorette edition and we can't wait because both Rachel and I have invited some surprise guests to join in on the fun today. Yes they will
Starting point is 00:05:11 be a surprise for both of us. We'll explain it in just a few minutes but the twist here is that we have no idea who the other person has invited so I'm a little nervous, but I trust you, Rachel. I think it's going to be very fun. You shouldn't trust me. Well, now this makes me really nervous.
Starting point is 00:05:29 Can I back up of this game right now? But before that, I think to kick it off, I mean, because we are starting a new season, but we are still taking this walk down memory lane, I think it'd be fun to go over some of like the past contestants because obviously there's
Starting point is 00:05:45 on a Paradise filming right now. We don't know when that's going to come. So in honor of old guests, If there were to be a Paradise, Rachel, who are, let's give you three. Who are three contestants that you would want to see on the next season of Paradise? Oh my gosh. That's a really good question, Becca. And I feel like so many people are booed up right now.
Starting point is 00:06:09 So many people are in relationships. I guess in the spirit of talking about fresh meat, I should start with Peter's season. So I'm going to name a person. Number one, I got to go with my girl, Natasha. Natasha is my girl. I adore her. We saw a lot of her, and I think America fell in love with her, but she didn't come to women tell all, and I feel like there's a lot of depth to her, and she's so not a part of the drama.
Starting point is 00:06:40 She really is just, like, love, light, and energy. I think she thrive on paradise. I selfishly want to see her more, and I also want her to find love. so I agree with that Natasha is a good one also going off of Peter's season I have to go with Tammy
Starting point is 00:06:58 because she made me laugh like she her facial expressions that she would do she was just so animated she said it like it was like she you know there was some drama between her and some of the girls but she was entertaining and so I would want to see Tammy on Paradise on the big screen
Starting point is 00:07:14 I mean selfishly just like so I can enjoy it watching it um no i'm for tammy i'm all for tammy like tammy you knew you knew she watching it she was a shoe in a shoe in for paradise one thousand percent um okay so hannah season that was the last season of the bachelorette so what guy would i pick from hannah season oh god oh i would pick dustin oh yeah like i feel like people have learned a lot more of him because of Kelly and Peter. Right. So there is this interest in him to fit because he's like best friends with Peter.
Starting point is 00:07:56 He was obviously there at the start of their relationship. He was a loyal friend. He kept it a secret. So I just feel like he's an attractive guy. He seems to have a really outgoing personality. And I think that it would be, he'd be fun. He'd be fun. And I feel like he would be one man to take it a little bit more seriously and not just
Starting point is 00:08:16 go to like cause. drama and entertainment but he would actually be there I think to find a partner um yeah and I mean we had it well I shouldn't say we had him on the podcast he was a little guest on the side when we spoke with Peter and Kelly so I um I would be all for that I'm trying to think like I just have a really bad memory apparently because I'm trying to like rack my brain of other men on Hannah Susan um same I'm only yeah I'm thinking of people I talk I actually talk to yeah or I'm thinking of like people like the only one that really stands out to me too on hand of season was jpj just because he was so loud and such a character and we obviously already saw him on paradise uh you're picking the fun people
Starting point is 00:09:00 i'm for it oh rachel i got my last person i know i know who it would be grandma honey can you imagine i would if grandma honey was on a season of paradise i would go and i would be like i would be whatever she needed me to be i would order her foods i would pack her bags i would fan her on the beach i would help her pick out her swimsuit like whatever she needs i would be there for it i'm for this now no offense to wells maybe we could promote him and give him another position so you don't have to completely eliminate him from paradise. But just imagine Grandma Honey sitting at that bar. Just imagine Grandma Honey pouring you a drink
Starting point is 00:09:45 and you're getting advice as she's giving. Can you imagine? Wait, what about this? Picture of this setup. Okay, so we have the bar in Paradise. Wells can still be the bartender. We have Grandma Honey sitting in this nice recliner throne next to the bar where people can go and like she'll just be drinking
Starting point is 00:10:04 but giving advice and like answering questions and when people are having a rough time they just go and sit with her for a little bit I love it can we make this happen I if we can bring what's her name from Winter Gangs who flew half away across the country
Starting point is 00:10:19 yuki all the way across the country we can get Grandma Honey I mean I need her to have a fully air conditioned hut though like we need to upgrade it like we need to give her the best okay how do I talk Grandma Honey you don't I guess selfishly I would just
Starting point is 00:10:34 want one of my friends to be there so I could have like a plant like a spy so I can know what's going on in full detail and paradise that's so I mean I'm looking at my friends that are single at this point and the only one left is Christina so I nominate Christina to go and tell me everything that happens just figure your little spy and tell you everything I can't talk grandma honey yeah yeah that's it done good job everyone listening let's um paradise yes I would tune in for that but she would need to be a staple like in every season i think oh beka i love these episodes so much because it's it's you know i feel like we have this love hate relationship with the show there's so many great things to love about it and then of course like you know you got to take the good and the bad with things
Starting point is 00:11:19 but i love going down memory lane with these episodes because it just gives us a chance to reminisce and to think about the good times and then also it's fun for i feel like our listeners to go back with us as well but you know if we're going to go down memory lane that means that we have to acknowledge not just the part that we played in our season, but we have to reminisce about all those incredible guys that made our seasons what they were. That's the good, that's the bad and ugly. Remember love hate, right? Got to accept the good and the bad here. And honoring some of the guys from our seasons of the Bachelorette, Becca and I decided to invite some old friends to test our memories in a little game that Becca and I both loved growing up called Whose Line Is It Anyways?
Starting point is 00:12:01 But we're going to do the Bachelor Nation edition of it. So in honoring some of the guys from our season, quite an introduction, right? I'm like, so in honoring some of the guys from our season of the Bachelorette, Becca and I, well, we decided to invite some of our old friends to test our memories in a game, a classic game, a game both Becca and I were fans of growing up. Whose line is it anyways? But we're going to do a Bachelorsetian edition. I have to preface this with I'm a little bit nervous, just obviously because I don't know who you invited. Very interesting. But basically here's how this is going to work. So I have invited two anonymous guests from Rachel's season and vice versa. So she invited two guests from my season. Now we have no idea who the other is bringing on. But each of the guests has two prepared lines that they're going to have to recite. I'm just going to go ahead and close my eyes because I don't want to see any names pop up on my screen. But basically,
Starting point is 00:12:59 Basically, once they call in, they will recite these lines to us, and then we're going to have two chances to guess who it is based solely upon their lovely voices and, you know, our memories, our fond memories of these men. Hopefully they're fond. I feel like, yeah, I feel like we're going to be great at this. I shouldn't say like I'm nervous because I feel like, and you've mentioned this too, I feel like we both get along pretty well with most of the guys. I'm more nervous of, like, guys that were earlier on that I'm like, I sent you home night one or like the first week and I don't remember. But hopefully that's not the case. So, you know, I'm not very good at games in general. So we're going to give this a shot.
Starting point is 00:13:40 And like I said, we each have a couple chances to guess it right. So fingers crossed, Rachel. Yeah, no, back. I think we're going to knock this out of the park. I'm not going to be cruel to you and invite somebody on that. I mean like did you I wouldn't even remember you know what I mean like I think listen I wouldn't do that to you I don't want to hear from the guys that they love so I feel like without right right they don't want to not know who they are either I mean and it's so fun for anyone so without further ado let's go ahead and get this game started and we're going to start with the guest the first guest that I brought along for Becca so I'm excited to go ahead and introduce Becca close those eyes guess number one Please join the chat.
Starting point is 00:14:25 Are you ready? I don't know why my heart is pounding so fast. Okay. So this is really cute. Okay. Guest number one, please recite your first line for Becca. I forgot everything I was going to say. What the fuck?

Starting point is 00:15:46 about melons no i said um i said tomatoes are really good That's what I came up with. And then my first conversation with you, I was like, yeah, you know, I sell melons. You're like, what do you mean? I'm like, I don't know. I was so awkward. I had no idea that you were like a grocery store owner. So you were like, yeah, I just sell melons.
Starting point is 00:16:09 I'm like at a farmer's market, like outside of your home. Where do you sell these melons? What kind of melons? I had so many questions. You try. You try to give them a chance. You too. And all Joe talked about was produce.
Starting point is 00:16:22 Okay. Joe, how are you? How have you been? Update us basically about what's been going on. What's like, Rachel? And I, what else did I say that night? I forget.
Starting point is 00:16:33 So what's going on with me? Is that what you're asking? You forgot. I did. I forgot everything. It was so embarrassing. I'm still kind of nervous. I'm nervous when I talk to you.
Starting point is 00:16:43 How weird is that? Yeah, it's because. I mean, like, I've seen you. I don't know for like anyone listening. This isn't a surprise because we posted it on Instagram, but like, after my season was done filming, I ran into you in Chicago. Who were you with?
Starting point is 00:16:57 You were like with your cousin or something. And my sister and I were walking out of like some Bloomingdale's bathroom. And we ran into each other because you were going to paradise the next day. Yeah, I saw it. It was crazy. I'm like, holy fuck.
Starting point is 00:17:09 That's her. No, it was not planned. It was the weirdest thing. Oh, my sister thought it was. No, we were like wedding dress shopping for my sister and she really had to pee.
Starting point is 00:17:19 And so we went into Bloomingdale's. And then out comes Joe with like, I think you had watermelon swim trunks for paradise. Yeah, I was buying watermelon swim trunks. Of course, the melon. Yeah. I still live by it. True. You know who you are.
Starting point is 00:17:33 Yeah. Very hard. I can do. On brand. Yeah. Yeah. How have you been? I'm good.
Starting point is 00:17:39 I'm good. I'm just living in Chicago now. I moved out of L.A. Um, life's good. I mean, do what we could in this climate, right? I mean, things are crazy. I'm filming videos. I'm shooting food videos.
Starting point is 00:17:51 I know. I'm jealous every time I watch those. I love how you, like, rate the restaurants and the food, and that's my dream job in life. I make it look really good, right? Yeah. I mean, I would buy some of the food. You sold me. Tomatoes are good, baby. Joe, I know it was short-lived, but what is one of your favorite memories for my season? I mean, yeah, that guy was fucking short-lived. You kicked me off the first night. I mean, I don't even know. I think...
Starting point is 00:18:20 But America fell in love with you. I would say when I got the opportunity to speak to you after I just destroyed my opening was probably the highlight because I was like, oh, I get a second chance.
Starting point is 00:18:37 And then I fucked that up and it was just downhill from there. You did not destroy it. It was just, it's a weird first night. There's so many people in conversations and it's late and it's hard to remember things. But,
Starting point is 00:18:47 but you know what? Head, sent you home night one like America fell in love with you in those like few moments and so look you went on dance with the stars on paradise all the things I mean I mean Becca I'm okay you don't have to be encouragement now if you if you had stayed another night it would have gone a completely different for you yeah I probably would hate it hated me that's no no I don't mean it that way I mean like if you had gone home like the second night or the third it wouldn't have had the same effect but you went home the first night's people
Starting point is 00:19:20 we're like, what the hell is this? They had like a little sampling of you and wanted more. Yeah, I know. And you know what? I don't think anyone's ever going to be able to do it. They won't. So I want to ask you, I mean, we touched on all of the cool things that you've done since the season. But what are you up to these days?
Starting point is 00:19:37 Anything fun that we can expect to see more of you in? Oh, yeah, this fall. I'll be joining the Bachelor family with a new podcast. I'm very excited about it. Very excited. I thought about this. Yes. I just were like two days ago and I was so excited

You're going to hear this Chicago accent. I mean, my voice is so obvious. You guys have to know right away. I thought you were going to disguise your voice.

So get out here soon. love it um so i asked joe this too but i selfishly have to ask what was one of your favorite moments
Starting point is 00:25:50 from my season okay let's do a one not so favorite moment and then one favorite moment i like that i like that was a little bit all right so one not so favorite moment which is hilarious i know you'll remember this i don't know what you're so after we yeah after we 21 guys are in the house and two of them didn't get a date. I was one of the two. So I already walked in. I see all these monsters. They're all freaking suds. I'm like, confidence is already dropping. Now I don't get a date. I'm like, I am in serious trouble. Well, I watched your season back. And then we got to meet your friends. So I'm like, oh my God, there's tea is here. Rebecca Kendall and holy Toledo, you know, I'm excited about it.
Starting point is 00:26:32 And then you remembered Jordan's name. You remember Will's name. You remember the chicken guy, David's name. It gets to me just straightway. I'm like, this is. I'm going to It's because you came right after I introduced Colton and Tia was there and I was very frazzled. It had nothing to do with anything other than the fact that I was like, oh, this guy I'm potentially dating used to date one of my friends. But I thought you were going to say when you chipped your tooth. Yeah, so it chipped my tooth was another one. Did we see that? No.
Starting point is 00:27:07 No, when we were swinging contests. my tooth here I chipped the whole thing so the whole rest of the night I had to like talk out of the side of my mouth I was like yeah back here's my family I'm welcome to Buffalo Jason I'm surprised you just didn't self-eliminate there are just too many things that happened for you
Starting point is 00:27:26 I would have been like you know what this is a side I'm out but Jason when you chipped your tooth because it was the chicken wing eating contest you even asked me you looked at me and smiled and you're like do I have food in my teeth I was like no you look great and then five minutes later you're like Like, Becca, I had a chip tooth. Like, you didn't even tell me, I had food to my teen.
Starting point is 00:27:44 I had a full tooth missing. The best part was, is your reaction? Like, no, you're doing fine. I then go to my producer, which is Eddie. And I'm like, dude, something is here. I can't tell. And he goes, oh, shit. But you can never tell.
Starting point is 00:28:00 It was hidden very nicely. You spoke out of the side of your mouth. It was a good cover up. Got to be resilient in this freaking game in the bathroom. But I think one of my favorite moments, which I'll honestly never forget, was when Jordan is going off. You know, you're in the back. It was one of our dates like week three.
Starting point is 00:28:19 I think it was that night. And Jordan is going off seriously about his Tinder sweats and his 100% match percentage. And I was like, this has got to be a joke. Like someone's punking me. This has got to be a joke. But then I learned like, that is Jordan. Like, Jordan is super witty, outlandish. And he's just himself with the cameras rolling.
Starting point is 00:28:38 not that's just for gimbal but to me he's back with littles on that college just like this fucking guy serious like this can't be weird oh that yeah I remember I was like I was trying to do the math too for like the ratio that he was giving us and I think I sat down with you
Starting point is 00:28:54 and I was like does this make sense like is this possible but yeah Jordan is Jordan and that's what everyone asks is like oh my favorites he's so funny and they're like oh he's just a character I'm like but that is who he is yeah you got to keep people that around. Yeah, he's just endearing in that way.
Starting point is 00:29:13 Other than you going to L.A. with the family, it seems like everybody's making the West Coast move. Jason, I'm going to be in L.A. too in like the next 10 days as well. So we'll all be there. But what else is up with you? What do you have going on these days? Yeah. So like one of my biggest projects I started, I think started in April. And it was when like you look at like 20 million people were unemployed. The consumer debt rate are out of control, $14 trillion. Student debt rates are out of control. And I started this company called Restart.

Do I not go for the dip? Went for the dip and all worked out. So I have her trust that I can dance a little bit. So a little ch-cha, I guess, in the residence. So it'll be fun, a little of a good time.
Starting point is 00:32:16 But guys, thank you for having me. And both you two, you can ask and take a name. So it's fun to watch you guys. Oh, thanks, Jason. See you soon. Oh, my God. Rachel, that was so much fun. I feel like you know me well.
Starting point is 00:32:32 You picked two of the guys that I just, just love catching up with every time I see or talk to them or watch them on Instagram it just I get so excited so that was awesome it was so good to see both of them but now it is my turn to have my guests on for you and so Rachel close your eyes because we're gonna bring on I was good to you I was good to you be good to me you'll love this it's it's gonna be good so close your eyes because we have guest number three join the chat if you will and guess number three please recite your line never have i ever done anything this embarrassing in front of a
Starting point is 00:33:11 large group of people but it's all about the effort any guesses are they using a disguise can i get a second line please yes let's get the second line may to go on another good date group date it sucks because I want a one-on-one man this is emotional roller coaster for your boy definitely disguised yeah the second one's
Starting point is 00:33:48 an emotional rollercoaster they want a one-on-one date that could be anyone should we do it without the disguise wait say the first say the first line again Never have I ever done anything this embarrassing in front of a large group of people. But it's all about the effort.
Starting point is 00:34:12 Okay. My guess is Matt? Can we show the face? Can I see? Bring him on. I was going to say Eric. I was going to say Eric. And I was like, this disguise is killing me.
Starting point is 00:34:36 Okay, I totally guessed it. I was like, I was like, one of the guests is going to be Eric. But then when I heard that, I'm like, no. Eric never talked to me like that. So well. I even knew you were coming out and I was like, wait, did we have the right guy calling right now? Eric never talked to me like that. Hey, Eric, who are you?
Starting point is 00:34:56 I'm phenomenal. How y'all doing? What's going on? Happy hour. Rachel's see you. I know. It's been forever, right? What's new?
Starting point is 00:35:03 How have you been? I've been great. Life is great. Working on me, working at work, living, learning, staying grounded and gratitude. Just present, just thankful. Good. I mean, like, if anybody can stay up and positive, you know what I mean? Like, it's definitely you, Eric.
Starting point is 00:35:22 Because, I mean, I know this is rough for everybody right now, but, like, you were always the most positive person on the season. Like, I would be like, Eric, how are you? And he's like, no, no, no, no, no. like, how are you doing? How are you feeling? How? And I was like, wow, thank you for checking on me. Nothing changed. Nothing changed. Nope. Just working. You know, I think what's most important is that in these times of difficulty or adversity, this is what you find yourself, your true self, your higher self, because I always say you really get to see who a person is when they hit adversity.
Starting point is 00:35:57 everyone can be good when they got money and they're doing well and they're happy and things are going phenomenal but let something get hard and tough and challenging that's what you really get to see from people and yourself so like I said you know my background you know my upbringing it was challenging coming up so when things get off I'm actually on it was when things were on I was actually off because it was new to me but now I have balance so I can kind of decipher and be myself and figure things out and have peace about it. Yeah. I feel like if nothing else, that's what 2020 is teaching us.
Starting point is 00:36:33 And for those of you listening who you can't see, I mean, Rachel and I can see Eric right now. And even just like the way that you talk in your body language, it's so exuberant and just positive. And that's just, I feel like every time I've been around, do you just radiate that? And it's a really cool special thing. Also, I will say between the two of you, I have never learned more about at, how do you pronounce it? an anagram, enagram numbers between the two of you. I'm going to need to call you both
Starting point is 00:37:01 after this and get all of the details because I need to know everything there is to know about what my life path number eight means. Yes. Well, the more you know, the more you grow, you know? That's the most important thing to figure out is yourself. Yeah. Because then you understand your life.
Starting point is 00:37:17 Yeah. Eric, so since we're taking a quick walk down memory lane and we have you here, I need to ask you, what was one of your favorite moments from Rachel's Wow Um Damn So many great moments
Starting point is 00:37:34 Uh I would say Copenhagen That was the one-on-one I mean Tovoli I was going to say I'm afraid of heights Copenhagen was a bar
Starting point is 00:37:44 We was in a jacuzzi In the middle of nowhere Popping champagne By the way They didn't They didn't record my line When Rachel laugh When I say
Starting point is 00:37:54 are you bilingual? She said, no, are you? And I was like, yep. She's like, what do you speak? I said, body language. They didn't put that in the cell. I was like, damn. Damn.
Starting point is 00:38:09 Yeah, that was a moment, though. I remember that moment. Copenhagen, for sure. Copenhagen, that was a phenomenal date. And even like going to the amusement park, I love to be a kid again. And then like, Eric was afraid of height. like he said. So, like, just to have that moment at the amusement park, it was, it was phenomenal.
Starting point is 00:38:31 I love that. And remember, okay, Eric, remember when we got out of the car and we were about to go in and there was some car playing Biggie? Wasn't it Biggie? Yes, that's right. And we were rapping to it right before we were going on. I just remembered that. I swear to God, I've never even thought about that until that moment.
Starting point is 00:38:48 Yes, and we were like vibing and jamming. That was one of my face. Sorry, Brian. That was one of my favorite dates. I absolutely loved that date in Copenhagen. And Eric had such great energy coming in. Like, I was in a boat, and he was walking across the bridge. And he was, like, already shouting, Rachel, you know, let's do this.
Starting point is 00:39:11 What on what? Like, everything was just like, he was so excited because he had to wait for so long. And I think Becca can attest to this that part of the wait is to give you guys a certain good date. You know, like, everybody is rushing to get a good one-on-one, but you want the best one-on-one. And since we get to choose who gets to go on what, there's something special about that. You want to pick the right date for the right guy. So, you know, Eric, sometimes it is worth the weight, as Rachel is saying. Yeah, good things kind of those who wait.
Starting point is 00:39:40 Yeah. Even, you know, it's like six dates late, but whatever. So what have you been up to during quarantine? Uh, and what do you have coming up? well right now I potentially I might be back on TV sooner than I know right
Starting point is 00:39:57 or cross fingers but outside of that Chris and I Chris Randon and myself over the pandemic from probably like March to like the beginning of May I believe
Starting point is 00:40:09 May April March people right we created a book it's called transformation change your mindset change your energy change your life and so this book
Starting point is 00:40:18 we're giving people tools to work on themselves every day you have something to do to transform your life from taking cold showers to writing with your least dominant hand to singing in front of the mirror telling you love yourself so you know people always ask Eric how do you stay positive in this book I have everything to get you to that level of positivity and just vibration feeling good and understanding who you are at the root level and unpacking all those issues or thoughts and emotions that you might come up and you just suppress them because life just goes on.
Starting point is 00:40:53 So we have a book out. I actually have an interview for that book. We have another podcast interview in like two hours. So you've been pushing it. And it's been great. Where can we find it? Where can we find it on Amazon? It sounds amazing.

Starting point is 00:42:20 that you are putting into it like taking the cold showers writing with your left your undominated hand yes like every day cold showers uh writing when you least dominant hand so the funny thing is i have some clients on the side when i wanted that coach life coaching where i've tested some of these things out so in the moment i'm coming up with things like okay for two minutes i want you to look at a selfie video of self-talk motivation to yourself right then another one you're going to create three minutes with the clock on three minutes and dance to your favorite song right so what this is doing is exuding and create energy within the body to get you in an ultimate state because if you wake up and you just down same with a cold showers waking you up so we are giving people things that we're done and witness ourselves but also that work I've been doing this stuff for years I mean I've been doing like cold showers um gratitude statements affirmations prayer meditation This is what I do every morning. It's tedious, but the outcome is the greatest because I wake up and you see it and you're like,
Starting point is 00:43:25 it's so positive motivation. But people don't know what the work I do, two hours in the morning before I leave on now. This is the work. Two hours. Yeah. Yeah, at least. You know, it's like between that and what's an hour. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:39 Right? What types you wake up every morning? Well, it depends because, you know, the pandemic is different, but from 5 to 6 a.m. I'm up. Hmm. See? Yeah. I'm getting the book, but I'm going to need you to text me every morning and be like,
Starting point is 00:43:55 get your ass out of bed, go hop in the cold shower, do this, push me out of my comfort zone. You got too much lack to live. What are you sleeping for? We better wake up. You got to go after it. So, hey, I've come a long way. And then I got niece to nephews that are looking up to me. So I have to create a blueprint for them.
Starting point is 00:44:11 What are they looking at? What are they looking forward to when they get over? There's a book, nephew. There's a workout plan. Here's this, here's that. So people go off what they see, not what they know. So I got to create that for people following me and the family. So legacy.
Starting point is 00:44:24 That's what it's about. Eric, it's so good to catch up with you. Everyone, check out his books. Well, his one is out now and then 100 days of wisdom coming out. When? Like late fall, probably, yeah. Okay. We're going to need that, y'all.
Starting point is 00:44:39 We're going to need that in November. Bring all the good energy into 2021. I always go back to, like, I got to. I got positive on right now on the TV. I'm always going back to people hate. People get sick of this for me. Also, Eric, this is really random, but I've never heard your Baltimore accent until now.
Starting point is 00:44:57 Really? You only have, you only say it on one word. Or I only heard it on one word. Do you, do? Do. Do. Do you. Do you.
Starting point is 00:45:06 Don't tell nobody. Okay. Bye, Eric. So good to talk to you. See you. Happy Monday. Stay motivated. And love. I'm out.
Starting point is 00:45:18 Oh, peace and love. Bye. Bye. He's, he's fantastic. I mean, Eric was definitely, we had good guys on our season. Eric was a good one. I was hoping it was Eric. Eric was one of my guesses. Okay. I didn't tell you who, but Eric was one of them. I will, and I also have no poker face. So how do you guessed before bringing him on? I would not have been able to hide it unless I was like behind my papers here. So I'm glad I'm, but I'm glad it was it a good surprise. Yeah. No, I love, I love talking to Eric. You know, he really is.
Starting point is 00:45:48 And he's like even encourages Brian all the time. Like he's always, he's just motivating everybody. He's a great one. He is. All right. So we got one more left. We can't forget your very last guest. Are you ready for this one, Rachel?
Starting point is 00:46:01 No. Oh, you'll be fine. I'm done after Eric. I'm done. Game over. Okay, yeah. So can we please bring on guest number four? So join the chat.
Starting point is 00:46:13 and guess number four, please recite your lines. It's going to be a big week. She's going to have an impact on my life that not many people have had. Say the second line. I know you have a thing for
Starting point is 00:46:35 penguins. Once penguins I already knew it was Matt. But you just want to talk to me, right? I guess you, I did want, I did want to make you say it, but I guessed you the first time. Okay. No, no, no. No, no.
Starting point is 00:46:52 No, we had Eric on and he was disguising his voice and I was like, oh, it's Matt. And then, it's Matt. You thought, Matt's one. He disguised it so well, though, that it didn't sound like him. So welcome, Matt. I just got off the phone there, so maybe he somehow trained his voice to sound like mine. You thought I was Eric? Well, it didn't sound like you.
Starting point is 00:47:13 It didn't sound like you. I thought it was you, you disguising your voice. Like, I was like, oh, that's Matt, but it was a disguise. Not like he sounds like you. But anyways. Whatever you said. I knew. I knew. I mean, I was going to be it. Welcome, how are you?
Starting point is 00:47:27 I've been good. I've been good. How about you guys? We're good. We can not. How many episodes deep are you into the podcast now? Oh, gosh. 60-something? I think 60-7.
Starting point is 00:47:40 I mean, we're over a year. Oh, okay. Shame on me. I didn't know what was going on for that long. But you got so much going on, Ray, so I could never really keep up with you even if I tried. I can't keep up either. I don't know what's going on either. It's got to be tough. It's got to be exhausting. Good problems. Good problems to have for sure. So you've been doing okay during quarantine? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm good. I'm good. Everything's good. Spending a lot of time with family. My niece turned one yesterday. So that was a lot of fun. Um, so I just been enjoying being an uncle and I'm, I'm okay with downtime. Like, I'm, I'm kind of a homebody as it is.
Starting point is 00:48:20 So it works for me, to be honest with you. It hasn't really helped me back too much. I've been working out a lot. I've been, uh, eating good. I've been drinking pretty good. You look good. Oh, thank you. I appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:48:33 You do. So do. Matt, where are you based? Oh, I'm in Connecticut. Connecticut. Okay. We wanted to have this episode because all of our fans, you know, we love walking down memory lane with them. And so I need to ask you, because I've asked Eric and the other guys
Starting point is 00:48:46 says, what was one of your favorite moments that you had on Rachel's season? So I've been reminiscing a little bit knowing that I was going to come on today. And there were a lot of them. Trust me. I mean, I went to five countries in, you know, a matter of what, six weeks. I think my whole process took. But I think actually my favorite moment, just because I'm a huge basketball fan and I played basketball most of my life was back when we were in L.A. and we ended up playing basketball while Rache and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar watched us. And that moment, yeah, that was just, that was big time. And that's kind of when I had to pinch myself and say like, I'm just so lucky right now. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:49:38 this is if I you know I wish I could have like had my dad watch because at the end of day you didn't see it but and you should I wish we had Eric on after because he could definitely vouch for me but at race you could too but I had one of the best games I ever had on national TV you were good you were really good no you I was on fire I was on fire and of course like the rest of the season went down you saw me hit like one basket and that was it But truth be told, two feet told, I think I was in double digits. No, he did really well. And the crazy thing about that date was Becca, they asked the guys who's played basketball.
Starting point is 00:50:16 If I knew Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was standing there, I never would be like, oh, yeah, I'm great. So several of them were like, oh, yeah, I'm great. I played in college. And all of them sucked. Yeah. All the ones were bragging sucked. Pretty much. And then there's Matt, who you just seemed so sweet.
Starting point is 00:50:30 You were probably just like, oh, yeah, played a little bit. He killed it. And he just like school on all the men. Yeah. And it just came out of no. I have no idea. But, Matt, like, being sports fans, that was a big deal. I remember when they told because they didn't tell me until right before y'all were coming
Starting point is 00:50:45 out, so they were like, all right, are you ready to find out who it is? It's Kareem Abdul-Jvara, and I was like, shut up. It's a legend. You were like, shut up. Everybody, go home. I just want to hang out with Marie-Havis is huge. Matt, how nervous were you to play in front of him? Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:51:03 Well, I mean, you combine that with the fact that obviously, you know, know there were cameras um this was going to be on tv you know i don't want to get injured last thing i want to do is like sprain an ankle here but i just wanted to hold my own i mean in my mind there was some guys there that could play some of us actually not myself but other guys had played in college and so you know how am i going to fit into this but i don't know it was like it was just uh muscle memory basically all of a sudden i felt like i was in a high school gym again and uh yeah it was definitely nerve-racking but he was he was the nicest guy too he was quiet he didn't say a ton but he's the type of guy that when he does speak it you know he doesn't have to
Starting point is 00:51:47 say many words basically and a smart guy I can't believe they had him oh go ahead I'm sorry no I was just going to say when I came back actually um I think a month or two after I'd gotten back off the show I went and watched him speak because he continued on on his promotional tour for his book. And, man, just to hear, you know, all the different stuff that, you know, basketball before we knew basketball. Let's be real. I mean, you know Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, but we were after his era.
Starting point is 00:52:20 You know what I mean? So to hear some of the history to talk about and stuff, it was just incredible. Once in a lifetime, for sure. Yeah. Yeah. And back of that date, it was like a high and then it was a low because that's when the ex-girlfriend came and then I was so upset oh yeah yeah yeah well I want to take it on a good note because I was so mad and then that night it was like you know they obviously had given you
Starting point is 00:52:52 guys a pep talk about probably like make her feel better and I would say that that's the night that you and I really connected yeah on that day like we were sitting in like some old car I don't even And like, I remember walking away and being like, I really like him. We just had like a super normal chill conversation. So yeah. That whole day was like really, really good. Yeah, I mean, whenever anybody asked me, you know, you get all the standardized questions. But, you know, did you, did you, you know, were you really in love?
Starting point is 00:53:25 Did you really like her? And I said, look, we had a mutual respect from early on. And we were, you know, very much I thought in the same place in our lives. you know i think your sister had just gotten married at the time she was about ready to start a family that was like the same thing i had going on back home so we just understood each other and uh and you know it was uh i'll never i'll never forget any of it you know what i mean and to be honest with i i i if i had any regrets it would just be that you know um i waited too long to buy into the to the process because it's worked for so many people it's worked for you know
Starting point is 00:54:02 you and Brian and, you know, a few other friends that I, that I have from the show. So, you know, when anyone asked me, is it real and can it work? I mean, absolutely. Just depends, just depends how much you're willing to invest yourself, you know. So let me ask you this. Yeah. I don't know. Are you seeing anyone currently? No, I'm single as of, you know, I've been single for almost a year now, actually, coming up on a year. So if and when Paradise ever comes back, would you consider that?
Starting point is 00:54:36 Yeah, absolutely. I definitely would. Now that you know, to try and invest a little bit earlier, you never know what could happen. Yeah, I mean, and what I like about the show now, and I can say to you guys too,
Starting point is 00:54:47 because I feel like we're on the older side of, you know, castmates and contestants on the show. I mean, I think, I think, Rich, you were the oldest until, until they brought Claire in. And then Becca, weren't you the second oldest
Starting point is 00:55:03 best, right? I was, I don't know, that's a good question. Caitlin, I think Caitlin was. Oh, Caitlin was okay, okay. Yeah, I was 27, 28 when I filmed. Okay, gotcha. Yeah. Well, I mean, either way at this point,
Starting point is 00:55:17 it just feels like they really want to, you know, think about going a little older and it's going to sort of broaden the horizons for everybody. So, I mean, I'm 35. I never thought I would go on another show again, but now my mind is open to it because you start to see it trending a little bit older. And I'm thinking there are going to be some older people when Paradise finally rolls around again. So I don't think that, you know, in watching the show the couple of years that followed up my season, did I ever see myself connecting with anyone? But now I'm not so sure about that.
Starting point is 00:55:55 I think that, you know, the possibility definitely exists. So, yeah, I'd definitely be open to going on Paradise again. It reminds me the story of Astrid. And I just think that everything is about, like, it took, like, when we were on next season, it took her a long time to open up. Like, she just couldn't buy into it. And she took a year off and then she came back to Paradise and then she found Kevin. So I think that you're in a perfect place right now.
Starting point is 00:56:20 You know what I mean? To be open for that. So, you know, we definitely, we want to see it. Yeah, listen, I'm in a good place and it seems like you guys are in a good place and it seems like a lot of people are single now too. I mean, as many couples that I talked about, you know, getting together and making plans for a wedding and everything, there also seems to be like, you know, there are some single and available people out there who are part of the show. So I think the future looks bright, bottom line. yeah yeah come on back into this incestuous family you know how
Starting point is 00:56:57 I never thought that I would have the stomach for it but you know what I think I'm in why not all right Matt is always good to see you to catch up to talk to you and I'll see you soon keep it up yeah go enjoy your niece my niece has her first birthday in a couple of weeks
Starting point is 00:57:16 so I can't wait to celebrate it so happy birthday sir yeah it's yours as well go squeeze her extra tight all right now that i finally know that i've missed out a year of this podcast um i'll start listening a lot more and keep it up with you guys so hey you made it on to the best episode of course absolutely hey thanks for having me guys i appreciate it thanks matt good to see you of course matt okay thank you take care you too what a sweetheart he's so it's so i i adore matt um that wasn't my guest My guess was that y'all were going to bring Alex on.
Starting point is 00:57:54 But I love that you brought Matt on because everybody, nobody could, when my season was airing, everyone was like, how did Matt make it so far? Because there's always a person who makes it far who you don't see a lot of. He was the most normal person. That's why you didn't see him a lot. When I tell you, like he's right, we had a mutual respect. We had normal conversations. There was this normal progression of our relationship. that's why I boohooed when I sent him home.
Starting point is 00:58:25 I was like, I couldn't speak. I was like buckled over what I had to send him home because we just had such a connection. He's so one of the good ones. He is such a good guy. I'm like, if he comes back on this season, he better find love because he deserves it. He wants it.
Starting point is 00:58:43 He's ready for it. He's such a good one. I'm so glad it was him to come on. Yeah, I'm glad we had him too because like he said, He is a little bit older, but I think it's super common. I don't want to categorize people that come on the show, but you either have the people who have been fans kind of know what this world is about, and they think they're going
Starting point is 00:59:02 to get all these cool opportunities and product endorsements coming from it. But then there's the people who are more skeptical, and they're like, I don't know if this could really work, but for somebody like him who may have been a little bit more guarded and then sure about it, but to say it actually does work if you take it at the right pace and your own time. I think people need to hear more of that because, you know, to this day, like, we're still questioned if it's real because people don't think that you can actually develop feelings for somebody and to listen to him. It's like, well, he's Exhibit A. Yeah. Yeah. And I think he started to believe in it more when he kept going farther and farther along. He probably was
Starting point is 00:59:42 like, okay, I'm about to get cut. Oh, I'm about to get cut. And as the time progressed, it was like, oh, wait, no, she's not cutting me. She does like me. So, yeah, it happens to everyone. But he's, ladies, he's one of the good ones. I'm just saying, he really, really is. So sweet, like such a calming, calming presence. And so Brian is very close with Matt and Eric. Like, probably those are maybe the two people he's the closest with from the season. So I don't know if you would do this, but like while we're going down memory length.
Starting point is 01:00:12 But when I would talk to the guys, I would always ask them who they were close to. Because it let me know their personality. like oh who are you rooming with oh you know like what i i never said what do you think about this person it was more of i wanted to know who your click was yeah because it told me i felt like it told me a lot about and for brian it was it was those two yeah oh definitely and and i and i always said like i wanted a guy who got along with the other guys like i didn't want somebody who was so turned off against like one person or like anyone in the house and i think that's very telling. So, yeah, well, I'm glad that Brian's close with both of those guys because I, I mean,
Starting point is 01:00:52 I've met Eric a handful of times and just adore him. But that was my first time ever talking to Matt. So he's, yeah, we're doing our jobs well for each other, I think. All right, you guys, today's episode was so freaking fun. I love taking a walk down memory lane and seeing some old familiar faces and some new ones like Matt. So it's always great to catch up with our friends from Bachelor Nation. And to be honest, I'm actually very surprised that we pulled that off because I thought between me screwing things up and technical difficulties. I didn't think we would quite nail it, but it seems that we did. So continue the fun with us, you guys, and make sure to keep tuning in because, like we said earlier, we have some pretty amazing guests coming

Starting point is 01:03:39 you have to make appointments to change your license, and if you're moving to a new state, it's very, very hard to get an appointment and the deadline is coming up, especially if you're doing absentee ballot like I'm also doing.

Starting point is 01:04:28 This person writes, my boyfriend's been hanging out with his young professor a lot. He doesn't think it's a problem, but I don't trust her.

Starting point is 01:04:54 Here's a clip from an upcoming conversation about how to be a better you. When you think about emotion regulation, you're not going to choose an adaptive strategy which is more effortful to use unless you think there's a good outcome. Avoidance is easier. Ignoring is easier. denials easier, complex problem solving, takes effort. Listen to the psychology podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
