Today, we were able to get Tyler Norris to come on. So we wanted to make sure that we added it into this week's podcast.

Tyler, hey, how are you doing? I'm doing good. How about you? Good. So last time we saw you, you were getting dumped by Rachel at the Jersey Shore in just like the cutest hometown date ever. And all of us were like all of us. Collectively Bachelor Nation was so sad to see you go so early. a lot of us, I think, expecting and hoping to see you as First Sand, the original cast and Bachelor in Paradise, but you weren't amongst that crew.

Why not? Why not? Heading down to the beach? Headed down to the beach. Yeah. So, like, what do you mean? Like, were you headed down? Were you at your own beach?

You were being, like, king of your own Jersey Shore. Yeah, I was just like, you know what? I got my own beach. I'll just hang out here for a little bit. You're like, why do I need Bachelor in Paradise when I have my own Jersey Shore Paradise where like every girl, every Jersey girl is after me there? No, not at all.

Oh, come on. I just have I'm limited to Kila at home, so it's not just like, I imagine your life at the Jersey Shore where you run a, was it basketball? I mean, only the best carnival arcade game in the entire world is basketball. I would like to think so. Yes, it's the one that I get most competitive over

and it happens to be probably the only one I could like even attempt at. I go, oh man, I have a whole bunch of tangents I can go on right now. But we're going to go back to basketball at the beach because you have to tell us the tricks of the trade there. But even though you were in first sand, are we going to see you on Paradise? So,

so yeah, a promo just came out. I was in the promo. Yes. So I will be on the sand. Yes. Okay. Well,

I think the reason, my theory, is the reason you weren't there for sand was because you're the kind of guy that would shake things up massively. And it would have been a waste of drama

if you were there to start. a waste of drama yeah because i think they were just like you know and he needs a little time of he'll give him a little bit more time and they were just like them we'll set him down there but i feel like if you send me in later it causes even more drama right that's what i'm saying it would have been a waste of drama to have you early on because you were way more dramatic as a late entrance because then you can ruin solidish relationships not that i want to do that at all It's a less than I want to do. But, but yeah, it's, I don't know.

I guess, yeah, I guess they were just like, you know what, we're going to wait. We're going to wait for everything to get fun, get great going on the beach, and then just mess with these people. Yes. And then we'll throw some guys down there. Yes. Okay. Well, we're so excited. You're actually coming.

Now, who did you teleproducers you wanted to see down there? So for me, I really didn't, I don't know. I didn't really watch any seasons prior. Give me the good. you had to have looked on people's Instagrams. I guess if I looked at like, yeah, there was like a few people they asked you there. Like, is anybody from like prior seasons?

But I didn't really know anybody. So yeah, just looking at Instagrams. You look at everybody. Yes. Everybody at the entire cast. I mean, they're all gorgeous, obviously. Sure. But who was your type physically?

My type. Well, I thought Britney was cute. Yeah. So we all think, Brittany is stunning. I obviously thought Victoria Fuller. Yes. I thought Teddy was super attractive.

Yeah. Trying to think who else. I think those are like the main three, I would say. Okay. Well, I'm excited to see if anything happens with Victoria or Bertney because they will, it seems, I would say, will be down there when you arrive. hopefully oh i'm so excited okay well um is there anything you could do for us to tease whatever jesse may be alluding to when he talks about like the most dramatic thing to

ever happen in paradise history yes so um in the promo it did show that there's a split so they take the women that are on the beach right now and they throw back in this amazing hotel. And then they send a new group of girls in. And there's a good chance that there's a few guys that come in at that hotel. But you got to remember that all these girls are already invested in guys. So it's going to be tough. We're going to see who ends up ending their relationships back at the beach for somebody new. Okay. So are you one of the guys at the hotel that enters for the, quote, old girls? I'm one of the new guys

All right So then there's new girls that come down to the beach For the quote old guys For the old guys Okay Not actually like age wise No yeah Yeah

All right that is so juicy All right we're really really excited What was Not like love wise Your highlight of Paradise Your favorite part of being part of the Bachelor in Paradise cast Ooh I would say meeting Michael A that's my guy oh my sweetest actually you kind of remind me of a young version of

him I have heard that before and I literally messaged him on Instagram I sent it to him because there's like post it said Tyler is literally the younger version of Michael A yeah I call him dad all the time now I'm like dad question mark you guys look similar you sound similar and you're just overall demeanor from what I know of you right now in this conversation is similar yeah I mean after meeting him and everything I was just like I would absolutely aspire to be someone like this because he's just such a nice goodhearted genuine guy and and yeah and he's just so easy to talk to and like literally like a dad figure will talk to you about anything will help you through anything so what was your least favorite part of being in paradise least david part um I would say seeing people cry oh uh I

I just hate it. I love being happy. So I want to see everybody be happy. But seeing like the downside of people going through stuff, it's heartbreaking. So. Well, you saying that Michael A is an idol of yours makes me sad that you or Michael A aren't the bachelor because I find that you had a little bit more gusto, both of you, than Zach. But you know Zach better than I do.

What's your take on Zach as the Bachelor? I think Zach's going to be a great bachelor. I think just all around, like, he's, yeah, and he's like the same age as me. We're both 26, so he's a younger guy, but he knows what he ultimately wants. And I think that he's very sweet, very genuine, he's a corky guy. He's just, he's all around just funny. So, and he's got an awesome uncle. So I think, I think that he's going to do a great job.

Was he picked because of his uncle? who's very famously known for being like a sidekick on Seinfeld. I can't agree nor deny. No, but maybe. I don't know. No, he was definitely picked because he's just, he's at, he's awesome.

He's going to like narrate his whole journey, isn't he? I would love that. I would literally love that. I don't know how much he needs to get paid to do that, but let's fork it up. Okay, so I want to go back to you for a second. and you and the Jersey Shore and Rachel. So you and Rachel, really adorable together,

but she just felt it wasn't right enough so that she like cut off your hometown date short, didn't get each, you didn't get to introduce her to your family. Do you feel like in hindsight that was a good decision? Or are you the kind of guy that was like, ah, I would still love to have introduced the family to a girl that I thought was special,

even if she wasn't like my forever. No, I think that it was definitely the right decision because ultimately I know how important that is, like meeting family and even in real life, like dating. When you get an opportunity to meet somebody's parent figures, I mean, that's a huge step. Like you're not just opening up your relationship to one person, but it's to their entire family now.

So if she knew that I wasn't it at the time being, why get more invested? why have me be more invested when ultimately you know I'm going to get hurt. So I think what she did was I appreciated it, if anything, because it didn't get even deeper. And your heart of hearts, did you think you were going to make it through that hometown week? Or did you think your time was coming to an end? I really did. Only because I got the group datevers.

And at that time, it was kind of just like the date during the day, Tino was the cheese king. they kissed in front of all of us and I'm just like this is the worst like I have to watch this happen in front of me and I'm just like I'm like thinking to myself I'm like okay like I know where my relationship the relationship is with is that with her but now you're like thinking to yourself maybe it's stronger with other people and you know it's just something that's part of the process that's what it is but when I got that group date rose and she said I can't wait to meet your family I was just like okay like this is awesome yeah the same way as me So I was super excited and, like, coming home and everything, I was just like, all right, I have

something good. And I could show her my hometown. I get to know her even more. And, you know, just have a great day with her. And I thought it was going great, but it's not. Do you know what order your hometown was? Because sometimes it's not air in the same order. I think mine was second. Huh. Who do you think was first? Pretty sure it was Avin. So do you think that she had such a great time at Avan's hometown that, like, it was directly compared? I would, um, maybe. I think that, you know, because I was second, obviously you have a connection first, like the first one, and we all saw her connection with Avin. So obviously she had agreed time and then you're thinking to yourself, okay, I'm at this point with this guy.

Am I here with me? And she wasn't. So definitely I think that had something to do with it. Lots of people have been giving Rachel Flack for the way that she reacted when Avin was pretty much saying that he wasn't ready for propose right there on the show. What was your take on that? I think that Avin, I love Avin. He's my boy. I think that the way that he went about it, I think that he was very level-headed and he was just being honest. And, you know, he's at that point in his life is what he kept saying. I'm at that point in my life where I'm not scared to get engaged to somebody or anything like that. But I think realistically, we see this through after this. but you got to think of it like the pressure just on the show like being a lead when ultimately

it comes down to getting engaged at the end I mean that's why you go on the show you make these amazing connections and ultimately most of the time you get engaged so I think having that pressure was on Rachel the entire time and you know that's she just kept thinking to herself probably I'm supposed to be here to get engaged if you're not here for that why you're here um so i but heard it out from both sides i don't think either of them were in the wrong i think they were ultimately rachel was pressured and even was just being level-headed so respect respect um okay so just to talk about your hometown for one more sec because i have genuine genuine curiosity what is it about the hoop uh at the basketball game on the shore

that makes us all the worst basketball players in the world. What do you guys do to that rim? I don't do anything to the rim. Oh, but the manufacturer does. We buy the rim as is. And it just so happens. The rim is a little bit more of like an oval rather than a perfect circle

because if it was a perfect circle, I would not be in business. Because everybody would... Okay. So if LeBron James went and played with that hoop, he still would be pretty bad at it? no i think lebron would do pretty well oh really we've had some like college like basketball players come up and shoot and they make it but you have to have like the perfect shot for it i will say that

and then sometimes some people get lucky i've had some people go up just one hand to just throw it up and it goes in it's crazy how many people get a hoop in the basket every day like how many yeah yeah how many shots do we get i would say anywhere between around an entire day yeah like on average like 10 to 15 really that's pretty good yeah it's a good amount not bad all right well then i want i want to talk more to Tyler about his summer romances at the jersey shore and some other bachelor stuff but first we have to take a quick break My boyfriend's professor is way too friendly, and now I'm seriously suspicious. Well, wait a minute, Sam, maybe her boyfriend's just looking for extra credit.

Well, Dakota, it's back to school week on the OK Storytime podcast, so we'll find out soon. This person writes, my boyfriend has been hanging out with his young professor a lot. He doesn't think it's a problem, but I don't trust her. Now, he's insisting we get to know each other, but I just want her gone. Now, hold up. Isn't that against school policy? That sounds totally inappropriate. Well, according to this person, this is her boyfriend's former professor,

they're the same age. And it's even more likely that they're cheating. He insists there's nothing between them. I mean, do you believe him? Well, he's certainly trying to get this person to believe him because he now wants them both to meet. So, do we find out if this person's boyfriend really cheated with his professor or not?

All right, Tyler, this is how I imagine, like your summer. over the past decade for yourself at the Jersey Shore. I feel like you are basically a country song and you take girls on roller coasters and the ferris wheel and like you eat cotton candy and caramel apples and it's like the cutest thing ever.

So tell us about some stories of romance at the shore that are like a country song. Yeah, like what do you do? Like what are your moves? My moves. So back in the day, my move was I had two jobs at the time. I used to go down. to the beach, I'd push around an ice cream cart, and I'd sell ice cream. Oh my God. You were probably

selling so many ice cream cones to girls that would normally not buy one. Well, I think they ultimately wanted the ice cream, but they would come up and talk. It was so much fun. I go down there, just get a tan, push around an ice cream card, selling ice cream, making good money. And then right after that, I literally would run off the beach right up to the boardwalk and start working on the boardwalk with the basketball games and you meet so many people through that and I love talking with people socializing um and ultimately the boardwalk there's a lot of women on the boardwalk so they approach you they talk to you this and that I love when it comes to dates and stuff like that um I wouldn't do the boardwalk more than once I was more of like a mini golf type of guy oh cute

um or dinner on the water or something like that a lot of fun um yeah that was kind of like me but the walk it's a one-a-done thing because you overdo it at that point water park throw a water park in there we're doing it awesome how did casting find you so i had a friend that nominated me my friend's girlfriend nominated me and yeah i got a random call one day and they said to me would you be interested in the show and at first i was just like really who is this and they were just like seriously this is whatever from the casting process would you be interested? I said, absolutely. Tell me what I got to do.

So, yeah, you have all the interviews and everything afterwards, but it was just, it was crazy to me because I said on, like, other podcasts and everything, the only season that I had watched all the way through was Clayton's season. And I had DM'd Rachel two weeks into their season. And told her, yes. I told her if she ever ends up as the Bachelorette.

And, yeah, if she, if they don't work out with Clayton, you ever end up as a Bachelorette, me up because like literally think you're gorgeous two weeks later i call what yeah nuts you weren't even in the casting process yet nope no did you tell when you told her that story was she swooned yeah yeah i still like rachel and our friends yeah um yeah she saw the message i told her during our one date like we were in a room and i told her i was just like listen like i don't know if you know this i was just like but i dm'd you and you didn't answer and she was just just like, well, I probably didn't see it.

I was just gay, whatever you say, Rachel. No way. That's so crazy. Yeah, it was nuts. You want to hear a crazy story that's very, that's similar, but like in a motherly way? So when my husband and I were like starting to try to have a baby and I was all very open about it on Instagram, um, the one of the, you know, OBGYN practices that was like part of my dad's like system because my dad's a doctor in northern virginia um one of the midwives from one of those

practices she reached out to me on instagram she was like hey you should totally come to our practice uh with you know we'd love to have you we're great blah blah blah blah blah never saw it um i ended up going with that practice not ever getting the message but because my dad recommended and then lo and behold, that girl who DMed me was the woman who delivered my child, like literally the first one to have hands, yes. And then she goes, actually, you have to follow me on.

I can't believe you still don't follow me on Instagram. And I couldn't believe that by the time, like after all that, I still hadn't followed her on Instagram. So like, I'm lying in the hospital bed, follow Becca. And then I see the message from a year and a half prior. Or maybe it was like a year to the day.

But she was like, hey, I'd love to like, you know, you to come to our practice. And it was like, oh my God, you just delivered our baby. And I didn't even see this. Yeah. It's like almost just as crazy. That's nuts. Yeah. All right.

Let's talk about this moment that you had down. And I think Florida at a club with these bachelor guys, a whole bunch of your bachelor guy friends. Oh, we were in. Where were you? Where were you? We were Nashville in Nashville. Nashville. Okay.

So somebody. held up like a light sign, you know, like one of those bottle service signs that said like F. Tino. Uh-huh. Who was holding that? You were all associated with it. I definitely was not associated with it. I literally turned and I'm looking at the guys. I'm like, who?

I'm like, you guys are idiots. Why are you doing this? Just because like I didn't, me personally, I don't have an issue with Teno whatsoever. Yeah. I know Tino on the show and everything. But yeah, one of the, I guess, bottle service girls were like. Holding it up, like carrying it around. And I turned and I was just looking at the guys.

I'm like, what are we doing? Like, why? Yeah, why? It's so dumb. So do you think that one of the guys requested it as a joke or that like the bottle service girls were like, this would be funny? You know what? At the time, at first I thought to myself, I was just like, you know what?

It had to be like one, like the people. That got eliminated early. No, I was going to say one of your crew that got eliminated early. No, because at the time, I mean, we kind of like had heard and knew kind of like what had happened transpired. Yeah. Recently. So, you know, we knew, but nobody else knew. So it had to be one of the guys.

I don't know who it was. I don't know whose idea it was. But, yeah, I was definitely not involved with that whatsoever. But of course, it's my face in front of the sign. That's what I mean by association. Yeah. I was just like, oh, of course, my friend texted me the next day and they were just like, Tyler, this is bad. And I was just like, I wasn't even involved.

Yeah. Yeah, that sucks. It wasn't a good luck, but also, like, none of us out there thought that sweet Tyler would be the one to do that. I wouldn't. I wouldn't. Absolutely not. No.

Okay. I like to play a game of rapid fire to end interviews. But first, is there anything that you'd like to share with our audience that, like, has been weighing on your chest since you've been off the show? And before you start Paradise, like, is there any warning going into Paradise or anything you want to clear up from The Bachelorette? I would say this, because so many people going, Tyler, read the room when I got dumped. Now, when I got dumped, okay, the day was growing great, everything, we went in the separate interviews. After the interviews, we met, like, together.

And I saw her, and she looked teary-eyed. And I was just like, Rachel, is everything okay? You're all right? And she told me, yes, I'm just cold. so I was just like okay so I gave her a hug and I'm warming her up and I'm thinking to myself so when I sat down with her I like I knew our day went well so when I laid it all on her I did not know whatsoever that she was going to break up to her there was something wrong I just thought she was cold oh that's sweet how long between being cold and the conversation

I would say she started off the conversation saying it was a good day my friends and on the day. It had to be at the point where, I don't even know. She started crying when I said that. Aw. I loved her. So at that time,

I was just like, this is either going bad or it was just going really good. I know, of course, it was the bad one. Do you feel like you actually loved her or was it sort of lusty at that point? In hindsight. I think in hindsight,

looking at it, it's so different because when you're on the show, you're in this bubble. Yeah. And it's so easy to fall for somebody hard when you're in this bubble and that's all you think about. So the time being, yeah, in that world, I was definitely like all in, like, falling in love with her. But looking in hindsight, I'm like, I'm going to be all right, you know? Yeah.

I would be okay. I just got lost in this world for two months. But, but yeah. And then you just got thrown right back into it. There was a very short amount of time, very, very short amount of time between filming Bachelorette and Paradise this season. Did that contribute to you coming in late? For real, for real? A little bit.

I mean, when I first got the call, I was just like, do I really want to do this again? Like, really put myself through this. Because it's mentally draining. It really is. Yeah. So I was just like, oh, think about it. And I'm excited.

I was just like, you know what? Like, go down there, have fun. Get to meet some people that, you know, I've had the same experience as you. And ultimately, like, yeah, there's a chance you might meet somebody. So I was just like, okay, I think that, you know, I've really put myself out there before. Why not try one more time? Okay.

So was there like a matter of like two or three weeks between you coming home and then you going to fill paradise? Had to be at least like a mom. Oh, okay, okay. That's not super different because you were like top four and normally top four does get about four weeks of a downtime. Does it make it harder or easier to jump back in? I would say harder Maybe why? Because you're still thinking of Rachel No I would say

You kind of know how it works Like how the whole journey like Works you just saw it and everything And um Like I went in just so gullible Kind of just like I don't know how like this entire process goes So and then kind of like

When I was told how Paradise works and operates, I was told it's completely different, which it is completely different, which is awesome. Completely. But at first, yeah, it was definitely hard because I was just like, I don't want to do through the same thing I just went through on the Bachelorette. Yeah, yeah, I totally understand that. All right.

Well, let's play some rapid fire, but first we're going to take a quick break right now. I'm right. My boyfriend's professor is way too friendly, and now I'm seriously suspicious. Well, wait a minute, Sam. Maybe her boyfriend's just looking for extra credit. Well, Dakota, it's back to school week on the OK Storytime podcast, so we'll find out soon. This person writes, my boyfriend has been hanging out with his young professor a lot. He doesn't think it's a problem, but I don't trust her.

When you do feel like you are bleeding from these high interest rates, I would start shopping for a debt consolidation loan, starting with your local credit union, shopping around online, looking for some online lenders because they tend to have fewer fees and be more affordable. Listen, I am not here to judge. It is so expensive in these streets. I 100% can see how in just a few months you can have this much credit card debt when it weighs on you. It's really easy to just like stick your head in the sand.

It's nice and dark in the sand. Even if it's scary, it's not going to go away just because you're avoiding it. And in fact, it may get even worse.

What are you studying in school right now? School.

Yeah, I just heard that you were in school. class. I am a substitute teacher. Oh my gosh. Okay. Yeah. So Tyler couldn't, um, could make our initial time because he was stuck in school. I heard you're a substitute teacher. Yeah. Do all the girls have crushes on you? Uh, um, I don't, I don't know. Okay. So yes. Oh my gosh. You're that teacher that girls like walk by the room and they're like giggle at. They open up my door like go, Hey, Mr. Nars. Exactly. They're like, oh my God. Mr. Norris is substituting for us today. How did the kids at school feel about you being on the show?

Like now you must get even more attention. Originally, there's only a few that knew because it's middle school. So they don't really watch, just that. And next thing you know, they're like, my parents told me that you were on a TV show. Is that true? And I'm like, yeah, I was. And then at one point, I remember some girl came up to me and she was like, just gave me a little bit of attitude and i was just like all right you can leave and go to the

office she goes why don't you go get dumped on tv again and i was just like wow my god i was like that's crazy these kids are roasting me right now so yeah how'd you respond to that i was just in awe i was just like i was a good one not going to lie still go to that in the office wow okay who do people say your celebrity look like is celebrity look like you know i got one today um In class, we were watching, I put on a movie for my one class. It was called Home Team and Taylor Lawtoner's in it. Okay. And I guess because of my eyes, like a little bit, I got like squinty your eyes.

I was told it looked like Taylor Lawner a little bit. I was just like, I appreciate that, guys. I can definitely see Taylor Lawtoner now that you say that. I think Matt Lawrence or Chris Allen, the winner of American Idol in 2008. Chris Allen? Yes. The other one, he's from what TV shows I call it? Well, Boy Mets World is what he's known for.

Yes, Boy Mets World, yes. So I think, wow, you got to go look up, Chris Allen, though. It's uncanny. I appreciate it. You did the cheese date on the show. What is your true favorite cheese? Favorite cheese? Yeah.

Ooh. Of course you ask me, I forget. What's the cheese they have in, like, Greek salad? Feta, feta cheese. That is a very interesting choice. Do you like eating fetta just plain or just... I could. Yeah?

Yeah, because that seems like a salad cheese. But I could. It's interesting. It's an interesting choice. Not saying that it's not good. I'm just saying that like there's a lot of good like cheese out there that you can just, you know, pick up and eat. But I don't know that I would choose Fedda to do that.

I do like the wineries, just eat whatever cheese they put in front of me. Okay. So not picky. Not picky. Yeah. If you could stuntcast the Bachelor or the Bachelorette with a celebrity, lead who would you want the celebrity lead to be as the bachelor yeah as the bachelor oh put my boy Zach Efron on there oh my god yes Zach Efron okay I guess you have like also there's either like

a little Zach Efron look to you if you had blue eyes right I wish I realized I would if anybody compared me to Zach Efron I think I'd pass out I don't know why do you love Zach Efron we've just found a big commonality here he's literally that he's literally the best actor i think i've ever seen wait why do you say that i've got a diehard zack i've found band for years 17 again his acting could have been nominated for a golden globe that's what i'm saying i used to say he pulls up he gets out of the car and the songs in the background and like puts his jacket on something like that i used to think i was like that in house for it's not oh my gosh whenever that movie's on i have to put it on and keep it on, watch it to the end.

Everything, he's got such good comedic timing. And I think that's under, like, underrated. I just, he's got such a nice personality. I told you, I always tell Jared, I'm like, Jared, if I met Zach Fron, like it would be trouble because, like, it's not like I'm just like physically attracted to him. I'm like, I like love his personality so much. Oh, I said to Zach everyone would want to like, you know, steal me away from my husband or

whatnot. But Zach everyone is my ultimate crush. What? Jared would understand. He'd be like, all right, Zach Ephron. But he's such a, he has such a man crush on him, too. Okay, there we go. He loves him.

And then have you, did you watch his Netflix show about travel? Yeah, down the earth? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yes, Amy, it's so good. I don't know he's like so humble and regular and down to earth. So anyway. I could go on about Zach Avron.

He appeals to girls and guys. I love it when like a, I love it with like a teen heartthrob that like just appeals to girls grows up to become somebody that even guys worship it's kind of like a Justin Timberlake effect or like a Harry styles thing you know all right so what jersey rep you know like what stereotype of New Jersey is totally false to you it's totally false yeah oh my gosh the jersey short when they watch the Jersey short gtel yeah it's like that look just that like acting like that that is not us whatsoever like we are just we're like beachy vibes like San Diego is prime example of what I think is like most like my hometown and when people

think of themselves like Jersey Shore this and that like I don't even think they're from Jersey I think they're like Staten Island or something like that so they're all over like Polly D is from Rhode Island which I have never seen a Polly D like figure here in Rhode Island but when people so I'm like originally from Jersey too um my parents lived there for over 30 years that's where I was born and people always are like oh my god jersey you know when people aren't familiar with Jersey they're like Jersey you know like JT oh and it's like you guys that's like maybe like one mile there's like maybe you can find like one mile of the beach like that exactly yeah we're nothing like that whatsoever no so yeah I would say that's the only stereotype it's pretty
