00:00We've been going a couple days now on The Bachelorette Men.
00:04They've dropped the roster.
00:08The premiere is on March 22nd.
00:10I can't wait.
00:11But we already have some favorites.
00:12We do, and we are going to give out our first impression, Rose.
00:16If you will. If you will.
00:18We've decided who Taylor should be honing in on,
00:21just on vibes, descriptions, whatever we feel like.
00:25Ashley, can you give us a little background on Taylor, The Bachelorette?
00:29Oh, can I ever.
00:29She's the Mormon Wives queen.
00:31I love The Mormon Wives.
00:33Okay, so TLDR, this is Taylor's backstory.
00:36She is on The Mormon Wives, but it really goes deeper than that.
00:38She started as a TikTok influencer.
00:40She became super popular for creating MomTalk in Utah.
00:44Her and her husband at the time had two kids.
00:46They were always hanging out with other couples.
00:48She started to do this, like, MomTalk where they would dance
00:51and they would go places together.
00:53And then came the swinging scandal.
00:57So there were rumors going around that her husband and herself were involved
01:01in a couples group joint, they call it soft swinging situation and scandal.
01:08And then she just went on TikTok and said, listen, if you're all going to talk about it,
01:12I'll tell you what actually is going down.
01:15Weighed it all on the line, admitted essentially to the swinging scandal,
01:18gave some details, protected others because there were a lot of people involved.
01:22And then it just created all this chaotic, like, firestorm of social media around her.
01:28Fast forward to her and her husband got divorced.
01:32She joined the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and created this MomTalk group of reality stars now.
01:39And then she started dating her, at the time, boyfriend Dakota, which we saw on the show.
01:45So Dakota plays out on the show her relationship with him.
01:48And they have a son, a young son.
01:50So now she has three kids.
01:52But her and Dakota were on and off, on and off.
01:54So now they've been off.
01:56They're trying to focus on co-parenting.
01:58And Taylor is looking for love.
02:01You really ate that.
02:02That was really good.
02:03And it's so crazy.
02:04The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is a huge hit on Hulu.
02:07So big.
02:08And two of the cast members were on Dance with the Stars.
02:11So this is like, we're at peak reality TV right now.
02:13Yeah, one's on Chicago and Broadway.
02:15Yes, Whitney.
02:16Whitney was also on Dancing with the Stars.
02:18Whitney and Jen were on Dancing with the Stars.
02:20And then Whitney is doing Roxy Hart now in Chicago.
02:23And she's crushing it, too.
02:25And then Macy wrote a book.
02:27And, you know, there are so many of them doing their own little side projects.
02:31And so we've got to talk about Taylor, though.
02:33I know.
02:33This is a big one.
02:34She's taking center stage.
02:35I don't think anyone expected this.
02:37Because traditionally, The Bachelor, The Bachelorette is someone from a previous season.
02:42And I think everyone was shocked, but also obsessed.
02:46I know myself.
02:47I used to be a big Bachelor fan.
02:48But in the more recent years, I was kind of bored.
02:51Yeah.
02:51So I stopped watching it.
02:52But now I'm actually going to watch it.
02:54I will say I'm pretty excited for Taylor.
02:56I haven't watched not one season of The Bachelor, if I'm being honest.
02:59But I will watch this one.
03:00This is a good first.
03:00Yeah.
03:01She's a character.
03:02Yeah.
03:02And I feel like The Bachelor always seemed like really kind of buttoned up and prim and proper.
03:05And I feel like Taylor's going to come and, like, wreck that .
03:08God.
03:08She's going to really make it her own.
03:11Yes.
03:11Like, I get the energy from her.
03:12I feel that same way.
03:13I think she's just going to come in and, like, flip it upside down like it sort of needed.
03:18Because, as you said, Lauren, it was kind of getting, like, a little dry.
03:20It was the same formula every time.
03:23Yeah.
03:23And then the people they were picking to be the leads were just, like, kind of expected.
03:27It was, like, same people.
03:28It wasn't like they were bad.
03:30Yeah.
03:30They were just kind of, like, expected.
03:31So then you go into it being like, oh, this is just kind of the same cycle.
03:34Well, now this cycle is being broken.
03:37And Taylor is a wild card.
03:38Yeah, she's a mom of three.
03:40Yes.
03:40She's 31, which is a little bit on the older side for a bachelorette.
03:44Yeah.
03:44And the guys, there's a couple of guys from Utah that are in the lineup.
03:48Yeah.
03:48They have all different ages.
03:50I mean, we've got people in their 40s.
03:51We've got people in their 20s.
03:52I mean, it's really anyone's game, but you have to assume all of these guys are down with the idea
03:59of dating a mom, a single mom, who has two baby daddies.
04:04Right.
04:06And they maybe have a little stepdad energy.
04:09And I think we've got some stepdad energy from this lineup.
04:12At first, though, when ABC first dropped the roster, the comments on Instagram were a little harsh.
04:19They were like, these guys look chopped.
04:21They always look harsh.
04:22These guys are a little, like, average.
04:24You don't get your typical, like, male model lineup this season.
04:28Totally.
04:28And the internet is ruthless to these new contestants every single time.
04:33Oh, yeah.
04:33Girls, guys, it's like, you can never know exactly who they are.
04:36And they're in these, like, really staged, poised, polished pictures where they're like, and they're using them for press.
04:42So it's like, every single time, they just are on the chopping block.
04:46But we dove into them.
04:47I feel like they always look better in videos and on TV because it's like, with those types of pictures,
04:51it's like school picture day.
04:53No one looks good.
04:54Right.
04:54Because it's just so stiff.
04:56So I'm going to give them a chance on camera.
05:01And already when they released their first video promo a few days ago where she reads a book, Book of
05:06More Men.
05:07Love it.
05:07I love that promo.
05:09With the Crocs.
05:09With the Crocs.
05:10With the Crocs.
05:12I mean, I was like, oh, wait, they're actually not chopped.
05:15They're actually pretty cute.
05:17Well, do you know who's pretty cute?
05:18I would say Johnny Biceps.
05:19Yeah.
05:20Okay.
05:20He's a former baseball player.
05:22He's from Long Island.
05:23He plays on one of those exhibition baseball teams like the Savannah Bananas.
05:27It's called the Cosmic Chili Peppers.
05:29No.
05:29I love that.
05:30He's like, to me, he's just, he's 30 years old.
05:33So they're similar age.
05:34And he is just hammy in the way that I think Taylor is too.
05:38Okay.
05:38Yeah.
05:38He's gonna bring that influencer energy and he kind of, he doesn't look exactly like Dakota, but he kind of
05:44has that like goofy bad boy.
05:46I mean, the amount of pictures he has shirtless, flexing, goofy smile.
05:51I mean, to me, a Long Island boy and a Utah girl actually would have a lot in common.
05:56Okay.
05:57I like that analysis.
05:58Yes.
05:59So Johnny, Johnny's got my vote.
06:00So he's getting your first impression.
06:01Johnny Biceps.
06:02Okay.
06:03I would say from the photo and the description, I didn't really get all of that.
06:07But when you tell me about like the Cosmic, like the Cosmic Chili Peppers.
06:11Chili Peppers.
06:12What a name.
06:12I was like, this kind of works.
06:13Okay.
06:14Yeah.
06:14You sold us.
06:15You sold us.
06:16She needs someone, in my opinion, that loves the camera because she's not going to go back to a quiet
06:19life after this.
06:20I agree.
06:21And that was one of the things that I was trying to consider too, because you also have to factor
06:25in on, like this person might have to eventually be on the show.
06:29And on the show, the mom talk group, they all are, most of them are married and, or dating someone.
06:36And then they have the dad talk now.
06:39So I'm kind of like keeping in the back of my mind, this person will eventually have to join dad
06:43talk if he's dating Taylor long term.
06:46And he went viral for dance moves.
06:48So.
06:48Johnny.
06:49Yeah.
06:49Yeah.
06:50Okay.
06:50Well, there we go.
06:51He was a former professional baseball player, but now he does a little bit more, you know, goofy, goofy baseball.
06:56A little theatrics, if you will.
06:58Who do you have your eye on, Lauren?
06:59Okay.
07:00I like Brandon.
07:02Okay.
07:02He's also a single dad, which I think is good because I think I heard something once.
07:06I mean, I'm not a parent, but I do agree with this, but I, I can see this point where
07:11it's like sometimes people who have kids and are single prefer to date other single people with kids.
07:16Cause they understand that you'll never be first.
07:19That makes sense.
07:20Like your kids are always first and they understand that cause they're in that same position.
07:23And also, I don't know.
07:24He just seems sweet.
07:24He's a little younger than her.
07:25I think he's 28, but it's like the typical, like he loves the notebook.
07:30And like he said, he loves the smell of roasting marshmallows.
07:34He also loves the gym.
07:35He is ripped.
07:36Yeah.
07:37He's like in South Dakota.
07:38I mean, the man looks like a Marvel superhero.
07:40He's out there chopping him trees down.
07:43He, he honestly really cute.
07:45He was probably one of the ones I was like, okay.
07:47Yeah.
07:47Like he's definitely at the top.
07:49Um, and he also loves his mom and I'm like, okay, that could at least show maybe respects women.
07:54Okay.
07:55Yeah.
07:55Which is nice to think about.
07:56I actually like that too, because more lore about Taylor in the show, she talks about
08:00how she did not have a great relationship with her biological father and how that has
08:06really been something that she's had to try to sort through on her own.
08:10And it has like bled into her relationships because she has, and this is an exact quote,
08:15but like the kind of way that I understood it is that she has like sort of abandonment issues
08:22and, um, like she's been very vocal about that, how like her relationships are kind
08:27of tied back to the trauma that she's gone through with her dad.
08:30So I think it would be good to have somebody like that.
08:33That's kind of like giving a shout out to their mama.
08:35Cause it's like, okay, he loves family.
08:37He's like, you know, protecting his family.
08:39And that seems like something that she is yearning for when she speaks so publicly
08:44and, and vulnerably about that.
08:46So that's a good one.
08:47There's some realness there.
08:48Malik, there is another Malik in this lineup.
08:50Yes.
08:51Is he your pick or do you have someone else in mind?
08:52He is my pick, but I will say I also really like Mike.
08:56Ooh.
08:57Mike T.
08:57Mike T from New Jersey.
08:59Mike T.
08:59He has this like energy to him.
09:02He only had one little moment in the video where he's like handing the rose,
09:04but something about him is just so smooth.
09:07Yeah.
09:07Like so smooth, so charming.
09:09And he's like a reformed bad boy, which could be a red flag,
09:13or it could show like he has this kind of cool edginess to him that'll work for her.
09:18Yeah.
09:18I could see that.
09:19I like, I clicked on his Instagram and he's posing with his niece and nephew.
09:22So he's definitely putting it forward that he's ready to settle down.
09:25Okay.
09:25And like, he's from La Valette, New Jersey.
09:27That's Jersey Shore.
09:28You know, he's like, he's a little, a little Sopranos, a little Jersey Shore.
09:32Yeah.
09:33I think they would get along.
09:34Cause you know, she's sort of a reformed bad girl.
09:36Yeah.
09:37Soft swinger.
09:38I mean, all these guys, all these guys did the research on her before signing up for the show.
09:43They know what they're getting.
09:43I mean, it's like that one guy in the promo that's like, I've never watched the show.
09:47Oh no.
09:47I'm like, yeah, me neither.
09:48Okay.
09:49Oh no.
09:50Okay.
09:50Well, he's going to be in for a pleasant surprise with the energy that she's going to bring.
09:55But like, we have to root for the Malik, right?
09:56Yeah.
09:57We have to root for Malik.
09:58Malik from Brooklyn.
09:59He's rooting for Malik from Brooklyn.
10:01Exactly.
10:01He was so cute.
10:02He had these like cute dance moves and everything.
10:04Like I think he was a tech executive.
10:06You know, I'm like, okay.
10:07Yes.
10:08That's what we like to see.
10:09That's what Taylor needs.
10:11I think there's at least three that are from Utah, which makes sense because Taylor's
10:15not going to leave the show, but there is a guy from California and he's a Paralympian
10:19that we were just swooning over.
10:21I think that that is my first impression.
10:23Rose pick Trenton.
10:25He just seems like he has that energy and that buzz about him that she might like.
10:30He's a Paralympian.
10:31He made an amazingly hilarious video with his dog, like fake searching who Taylor Frankie
10:37Paul was when he was, I don't know, I guess he was kind of like trying to shoot his shot
10:41or like promote that he was on the show or something.
10:43And he's like running with the roses and the pedals are flying everywhere.
10:46I mean, you know what he knows how to do?
10:49Edit a TikTok.
10:50So it was a very good TikTok.
10:52He would fit in on that dad talk.
10:54Yeah.
10:54That's what I'm thinking.
10:55You know, I'm like looking at all the puzzle pieces and he just seemed like he had good
10:58energy, good vibes.
10:59So I'm excited to see what he brings to the mansion and the table.
11:03And you love the Olympics.
11:05I love the Olympics.
11:07That would be your world's coming.
11:08It's like secret lives of Mormon wives, the Olympics coming together.
11:11It's all my favorite people.
11:13Like, could you imagine if he makes it to the end?
11:16Like I might have to have a finale party with myself.
11:19And I will be sat and watching.
11:24Maybe I'll get like some gear.
11:25Team USA gear.
11:26Gear.
