00:00:14I just don't know if it's like there for me like I feel like sex is a big thing mm
00:00:21-hmm I
00:00:22felt like we could get over but I could get past that you know she's such a great person I
00:00:27care
00:00:28about her and I know how you can feel about me and I was like well I feel like we
00:00:34could get past that
00:00:35like part maybe some way and now I'm like I don't want to like fake something but like the more
00:00:46like
00:00:46we do that it's like I never not talk to this person
00:00:57but like over the past two days I was thinking about it about like what it would be like if
00:01:03I was with that person too just thinking about it what person the number two person I had
00:01:10just thinking about it not about it I'm just being honest like my thoughts I was like
00:01:14what would that look like and it probably I don't know maybe it'd be up in flames you know what
00:01:19I mean
00:01:20mm-hmm that person I'm just saying like these are just thoughts in my head yeah I mean all of
00:01:31these things are really hard to hear okay I figured they would be I just feel like the past two
00:01:38days
00:01:38I've had enough time to like think about like
00:01:46fucking long term five ten yeah fifteen twenty years and it's like I feel like it's hard but
00:01:53like that doesn't mean like how I felt like that was all like true like everything like how I felt
00:01:59about you it's very true I just I don't want to be like sad about it like I want to
00:02:16like continue
00:02:16like trying like figuring this out because I feel like we have fun together
00:02:26right
00:02:29I don't know how I'm supposed to be like fun now oh wow okay I feel really stupid why
00:02:41why honestly the fact that
00:02:47me not working out every day is even a sentence that came up in this conversation is blowing my mind
00:02:52oh my gosh it's not even what I meant by that well it's what you said
00:02:57it's I mean I'm just trying to like I'm not saying like people I would date before like that's
00:03:01the things they would do and like that's the things like I would well I just go after work at
00:03:06the hospital every day sorry I understand I was very upfront about that from beginning this there
00:03:11was no like illusion that I was gonna be going to Pilates every day I understand and it makes me
00:03:17feel
00:03:17like shit too like not good enough in a way that like I can't control feel very like inadequate
00:03:33three days ago if you had told me like that I would question if you I would be like you're
00:03:37fucking insane
00:03:38like this man has treated me better than anyone ever has and like he's told me that he's in love
00:03:44with me like he's told me that he wants a future with me and so today it's really fucked with
00:03:48my head
00:03:48to go from like thinking that you think I'm like the best fucking thing in the world to being like
00:03:53well
00:04:00if my body isn't good enough for you like I'm never gonna be like oh please still love me
00:04:05that's not what I'm here for now I'm standing here alone
00:04:14everything I knew has turned to stone
00:04:20I feel like I just need to go home
00:04:36love was absolutely blind for me I was madly in love with Chris like I genuinely believed that
00:04:42this was the person I was gonna spend the rest of my life with with him doing this like complete
00:04:47180
00:04:47and feeling like a different person I could never look at him the same I'm extremely disappointed I'm
00:04:54extremely hurt but I know I'll be okay I've always been okay I will take care of myself I have
00:05:01a
00:05:01wonderful life and I don't want to be with somebody unless they're just gonna make it better
00:05:26I believe love is blind I mean I fell in love with someone without seeing them and
00:05:29literally wanted to spend the rest of my life with them but when two people want to fornicate
00:05:33or have sex it might not be a big deal to a lot of people it might people say it's
00:05:375% 10%
00:05:38relationship like to me like I get it when you're 90 years old everyone's not gonna look good I get
00:05:43it but I'm not 90 I'm disappointed how it turned out and like she said she didn't work out I
00:05:50get it
00:05:50it's fine but Brie was my number two and it's like you know maybe that's someone like I would be
00:05:58more attracted to and I thought maybe I could say some of those things without feeling like I was
00:06:04being the bad person there and I was wrong if she doesn't like the way I feel and she feels
00:06:10like
00:06:10she can't be with me because the way I feel then it's what it is
00:06:30your sweatshirt and sweatpants are on the bed
00:06:31I saw that thank you how good does that feel to have all the laundry done
00:06:35I'm not gonna say it out loud but doing like these chores to make sure it looks nice is
00:06:42oh he just is appreciating the finer things in life like a clean house
00:06:49and it smells good
00:06:50I do I told I said positive
00:06:55I'm saying you are
00:06:57you've been away from me all day oh no what are you gonna do you what are you gonna do
00:07:05when I go
00:07:05back tomorrow cry well maybe just make a bunch of money and I can just stay at home you're gonna
00:07:13stay here forever I'll be I don't think I'll have to go to the office before the
00:07:21wedding but probably wait you have to go in the office sometimes once a month
00:07:26we have once a month meetings and it's just all the higher-ups so
00:07:34I swear to God you are a treat
00:07:39I get no one I need to okay it's called efficiency
00:07:42and delegation true just like how we delegating our chores around here

00:08:09okay let's just maybe choose a different tool
00:08:11this is the butter it is hard as a rock okay yeah it probably needs to be warmed up
00:08:20Connor it's in plastic for like 20 seconds it's gonna be fine
00:08:26I'm gonna get cancer living with you
00:08:29maybe I'm just kind of an idiot sometimes

00:16:08Why would I go mmm?
00:16:10It's gross.
00:16:13Hopefully it's good.
00:16:14Only tried the broccoli.
00:16:18Thank you for cooking.
00:16:20You're welcome.
00:16:22Oh, the chicken's good.
00:16:23Is it?
00:16:24Mm-hmm.
00:16:25I did it medium rare tonight.
00:16:30Perfect.
00:16:32You want to kill us?
00:16:34We won't make it to a wedding.
00:16:36Or we'll be deathly ill.
00:16:38I need to look slim in my suit.
00:16:40So we should get a big maculine?
00:16:42No, I'm just kidding.
00:16:43Your eyes.
00:16:45You haven't looked at me like that since the reveal.
00:16:49Like, oh my god.
00:16:50What am I doing?
00:16:52Doesn't that feel so long ago?
00:16:53Yeah.
00:16:55Sight unseen.
00:16:57You helped me to cover my face so you don't have to look at me?
00:16:59We can act like we're in the pods.
00:17:04Oh my gosh.
00:17:06Um, this is uncomfortable for me.
00:17:10But, um, I don't feel as secure as I did in the pods with you.
00:17:18I don't like that you don't ever really tell me that I'm pretty.
00:17:21Because I don't know if you're attracted to me.
00:17:23Like, you just compliment my clothes.
00:17:26Complimenting me, it gives me security like that you find me attractive and you want me.
00:17:32And I don't always necessarily feel like you do.
00:17:35In Cabo, you know, when I did compliment, like, your bathing suit, like, I was starting to, like, open up
00:17:40you.
00:17:41I don't remember the exact comment, but it was just like, you haven't called me pretty.
00:17:45And then internally for me, I'm just like, okay, well now I don't want to because, like, you're forcing me.
00:17:51And then I was like, well now I don't feel like it's genuine if I say anything.
00:17:55If it's felt distance or I haven't felt, like, physical touch, it's because, like, I've been putting up these walls.
00:18:00Because now I feel like if I do it, it's only because you told me.
00:18:04And in my head, I'm like, if I do it, I feel like that's what you're going to say.
00:18:07When I do make comments or I compliment something, for me what would help is, like, leaving, like, the small
00:18:14comment aside.
00:18:15I feel like I go in defense mode because I'm like, okay, I'm not going to try if it's not
00:18:21being reciprocated.
00:18:23Yeah, and I think for me it's just, like, addressing it how we address it tonight instead of saying, like,
00:18:28you never call me pretty.
00:18:29Just be like, is everything okay?
00:18:31Like, I just want to make sure that you are, like, in more of, like, a conversation instead of, like,
00:18:37a small comment.
00:18:38I think for me it does a lot.
00:18:40I think we can easily get through this stuff and, like, figure it out.
00:18:44But that's what would help me, and I obviously know helping you would be, like, doing it and, like, saying
00:18:50it, so.
00:18:53I think something that I need to do is start projecting my past relationship insecurities on you.
00:19:02And I think that also means that I have some work I need to do outside of us.
00:19:09Yeah.
00:19:10But I hear you, and I will work on not projecting my hurt on you.
00:19:20I know it's not easy.
00:19:22Well, this was therapeutic, because apparently both of us have been feeling some type of way at not seeing it.
00:19:29But it explains a lot.
00:19:32Yeah.
00:19:33I think you are very pretty.
00:19:36I love that you, like, have, like, natural beauty.
00:19:39And it's not, like, makeup.
00:19:41You know me.
00:19:41I'm a very simple man.
00:19:42So I think that's beautiful that you are beautiful in your own skin.
00:19:48And I do really like your lashes.
00:19:50They're very voluptuous.
00:19:52And your soft, your soft curly hair.
00:19:55I love your height.
00:19:57Really?
00:19:59Yeah, because I can hide my snacks in the big cupboards.
00:20:03Oh, that's right.
00:20:03So I think it's really attractive.
00:20:06And your smile is contagious.
00:20:11Thanks.
00:20:12You're welcome.
00:20:25Big Dome.
00:20:26Yo.
00:20:27What up?
00:20:28How are you?
00:20:30Good to see you.
00:20:30Hanging in there?
00:20:31Yeah.
00:20:33Talk to me.
00:20:35She doesn't want to do this anymore.
00:20:37I don't know if, like, the physical connection's there yet, and if that can grow.
00:20:43You're attracted to her, though, right?
00:20:46Um, yeah, I mean, she's beautiful.
00:20:48Good looking.
00:20:49But, um, I was just trying to be honest.
00:20:52She, I assume, didn't really take it well?
00:20:55No.
00:20:55Not at all.
00:20:56And I didn't say, like, I wanted to be done.
00:20:59Did she say she wants to be done?
00:21:01Uh, yeah.
00:21:02I think so.
00:21:03Like, she said that, she's like, I'm done?
00:21:05I mean, it's what it sounded like.
00:21:07It sounded like, but not actually.
00:21:09Yeah.
00:21:09So there's, have you tried reaching out to her?
00:21:11Um, she's like, I can't be around you anymore, basically.
00:21:15So.
00:21:22That sucks.
00:21:23I didn't say I wanted to be done with it.
00:21:25Yeah?
00:21:25But I just said we need to work on these things.
00:21:27Okay.
00:21:28Um, but I think she thinks I'm just gonna be going through the motions.
00:21:31I mean, you guys talked for 50 hours.
00:21:34Yeah, literally.
00:21:35And Cabo was, Cabo was great.
00:21:37Cabo was fun with you two.
00:21:37I mean, how do you not have fun there, right?
00:21:39I don't know.
00:21:39But like, also, we found our person to do it with, which makes.
00:21:42That's what I mean.
00:21:43Cabo's gonna be fun regardless, but like, doing it with your person.
00:21:45There's just like, no better feeling.
00:21:48So.
00:21:50Yeah.
00:21:51Fuck, man.
00:21:52I appreciate that.
00:21:54I just, um.
00:21:55Yeah.
00:21:55You two are awesome, too.
00:21:56That's the other thing.
00:21:57It's like, it's frustrating, just because like, I saw how much love there was between you guys.
00:22:00And how much love there, I definitely still, there definitely still is.
00:22:03And, uh.
00:22:04And she was a great friend of Bree, too.
00:22:06So, she is this great friend of Bree.
00:22:07Like, both of you guys.
00:22:08So, it's like, we wanna see you guys do well and stay together, obviously.
00:22:13And do what's best for you, too.
00:22:17So.
00:22:18Yeah.
00:22:20Couples fight all the time, and it sucks that this got to the level where it's at.
00:22:23But like.
00:22:24I don't know.
00:22:24Give it a day or two, I think.
00:22:26Yeah.
00:22:26I think, uh.
00:22:27Maybe send her like a, just a, even like a letter or something.
00:22:31Not just a text.
00:22:32Just like, why you were feeling how you're feeling about her.
00:22:36That you're not just going through the motions.
00:22:38Mm-hmm.
00:22:39Yeah.
00:22:40Or that you still wanna continue things.
00:22:41There's nothing more that I wanna do is, like, continue with you, type stuff.
00:22:44So, honestly, whatever you're feeling, put that in writing.
00:22:48If you just give it your 100% effort, like, you can at least sleep at night.
00:22:56Yeah, dude, I like that idea.
00:22:57No.
00:22:57Definitely, um, take that advice.
00:23:00Yeah, sure.
00:23:01Obviously, call me if you need anything.
00:23:03Yeah.
00:23:04Let me know.
00:23:04Yeah, yeah.
00:23:05Maybe I'll be with Jess and we can all go on double date or something.
00:23:07Dude, I hope.
00:23:08I hope.
00:23:08If I see her, I'm gonna talk to Chris.
00:23:10We love you guys.
00:23:12We love you guys.
00:23:12Uh, I did.
00:23:14We'll have room for you.
00:23:15I did.
00:23:15See ya.
00:23:19Write your thoughts down.
00:23:20Yep.
00:23:29Hey.
00:23:30My boy.
00:23:31This is the place.
00:23:34And this is my fiancee, Ashley.
00:23:36Hi.
00:23:36Ashley, this is my mom.
00:23:37Hi.
00:23:38So good to meet you.
00:23:39Good to meet you.
00:23:39I've heard so much about you.
00:23:41We love you.
00:23:41A little about you.
00:23:43Look at the color.
00:23:45Welcome to our home.
00:23:47Where are you coming from?
00:23:48You were in, like, Arizona or Montana when we called you?
00:23:51It's the news.
00:23:53It's always a crapshoot.
00:23:54I was in, uh, Arizona when you called.
00:23:56I know.
00:23:56Well, he's like, I travel all around.
00:23:58I was like, so your mom is the same way.
00:23:59I am.
00:24:01Yes, I may have instilled that in him a little.
00:24:03Sorry.
00:24:03That's okay.
00:24:05So you drive commercial trucks?
00:24:07I do.
00:24:07Yeah, I drive a semi with a car hauler on the back and whatever we can.
00:24:12That's insane.
00:24:13Yeah.
00:24:13Yeah, I was test driving, uh, tractors for a while, um, up to Alaska and Ack.
00:24:19Oh, that looks beautiful.
00:24:20Ashley, did you put that together?
00:24:21I put it together.
00:24:22So, do you ride motorcycles?
00:24:24I do not.
00:24:25Would you?
00:24:25I've been on a motorcycle.
00:24:27I have never driven one.
00:24:29This is where I get it from, obviously.
00:24:30Yeah.
00:24:30You can kind of see, like, the traveling bouncing around.
00:24:32Yeah.
00:24:33Experiences to me are what are important.
00:24:35Yeah.
00:24:35Things are not important.
00:24:37You know, I know we live our lives a little differently than a lot of people.
00:24:42Although I think, you know, the nomadic lifestyle is kind of coming into vogue, maybe.
00:24:47I don't know.
00:24:48But have you done much traveling?
00:24:50No.
00:24:51So that's something that appealed about Alex is, like, I haven't traveled a lot.
00:24:54And I've always wanted to travel and explore.
00:24:57He loves the exploring.
00:24:59He always had my support on that.
00:25:00Absolutely.
00:25:01Go travel now.
00:25:01We've talked about, like, planting roots either in Arizona or Florida.
00:25:06Do you think he's capable of staying in one place for...
00:25:08Yeah.
00:25:09Much more than I am.
00:25:10She's more of a planner.
00:25:11Like, I mean, I've planned things out, but...
00:25:13I'm a Virgo.
00:25:14I'm not good with the flow.
00:25:15I definitely like to plant.
00:25:16It's not a weakness.
00:25:17Yeah.
00:25:18It's just how does it fit together with the other person.
00:25:21He compliments that very well with me.
00:25:23Like, he'll just look at me and be like, we got this.
00:25:25Like, shut up.
00:25:28Respectfully.
00:25:29And I'll be like, okay.
00:25:30Most of the time.
00:25:32He yelled at me because I organized the water bottles in the fridge.
00:25:35No.
00:25:35No, rephrase that.
00:25:36Rephrase that.
00:25:37I put them in.
00:25:38In rows, ready to go.
00:25:40Wow, I'm impressed.
00:25:41I know.
00:25:42I was impressed.
00:25:43I was impressed.
00:25:43And then I opened them up again.
00:25:44I was like, you flipped those around.
00:25:46Like, what?
00:25:46That's my comfort.
00:25:47Like, when I'm cleaning, I'm, like, anxious.
00:25:49I'm like, I'm just cleaning.
00:25:50Do you need him to do that?
00:25:51Or are you okay just doing that?
00:25:52Nope.
00:25:52That was, like, my big thing as well.
00:25:54Because it was one of those.
00:25:54I'm like, hey, I'm putting the effort in here.
00:25:57And when she explained it.
00:25:57Because you have to let him be him, too.
00:25:59If he's going to let you be you.
00:26:00That was what we talked about.
00:26:01It's new.
00:26:02Like, we're living together.
00:26:03100%.
00:26:03So it's like, we do have to, like, not compromise.
00:26:05But, like, we have to.
00:26:06Just learn each other's language.
00:26:07Yeah.
00:26:07Especially if you're going to marry them.
00:26:09Yeah.
00:26:11That's awesome.
00:26:13Yeah.
00:26:14All right.
00:26:14Well, I'm going to let you guys go to town on that charcuterie board.
00:26:18I will see you guys in a little bit.
00:26:19I'm a truck driver.
00:26:19I don't get real food.
00:26:23I guess, what has, like, Alex's previous girlfriends been like?
00:26:26Um.
00:26:28Girl talk now.
00:26:29Yeah.
00:26:30Like, let me get the dirt.
00:26:30I don't know if he's told you about his last serious relationship.
00:26:35He gave it more chances than it should have been given.
00:26:39Been there.
00:26:40Yeah.
00:26:40And, um.
00:26:41Was she Chicago?
00:26:42Yes.
00:26:43Um, and she was a piece of work.
00:26:45Was she the travel nurse that he was going to go to Australia with?
00:26:49No.
00:26:50Because I've only known about, no, it's two people, but the travel nurse and then Chicago.
00:26:55I didn't know if they were the same person or what.
00:26:56No.
00:26:57So, he doesn't like to talk about the past too much.
00:27:00And I understand, like.
00:27:02He's had a rough go of women not being authentic and not being honest and not being loyal.
00:27:11Yeah.
00:27:11So, have you seen anything that causes you concern?
00:27:16I think the biggest thing for me is I analyze, like, the timelines.
00:27:22Because his timeline is insane.
00:27:24It's like, I don't know where you lived.
00:27:25And then I, like, try to, like, rehash it to, like, my girlfriends when I see them.
00:27:29And they're like, what?
00:27:30And I was like, what?
00:27:32I don't know.
00:27:33And he knows that it is hard to follow his story.
00:27:37Yeah.
00:27:38And, like, it's hard to follow my story.
00:27:39Just people's heads go.
00:27:41Yeah.
00:27:41They're like, I don't know what you're talking about.
00:27:43I think he's finally kind of mourning the loss of soccer.
00:27:47It was such a huge part of his life.
00:27:49Coaching is obviously something he's very passionate about.
00:27:52I guess a concern of mine is, like, you know, we move away and we've talked about him going into
00:27:56this, like, financial role or something.
00:27:58And it's not what he wants to do.
00:27:59I know it's probably very hard for him to have to walk away from what was his life.
00:28:06That's going to make me cry.
00:28:07I'm sorry.
00:28:17I would love for him to coach because he's got so much to offer.
00:28:25And he loves the game so much.
00:28:31And I think he needs something that isn't so structured that he's got to be in an office all the
00:28:39time.
00:28:40That's just not his venue.
00:28:44What's the hardest thing you've had to overcome in your life?
00:28:48Probably my previous relationship.
00:28:50My friends and my family, they sort of saw me, like, lose myself.
00:28:55I was this, like, bright, shining, like, personality, bubbly girl.
00:28:59Smart, intelligent, ambitious, beautiful inside and out.
00:29:03And that was completely drained from me.
00:29:05I will no longer date potential and I don't want to marry potential.
00:29:08And I have not had any of those feelings with Alex.
00:29:11Like, it's not potential with Alex, I guess.
00:29:13I'm glad you see that.
00:29:15Yeah, he is who he is.
00:29:16And I fell in love with him through a wall.
00:29:19And that's crazy to say out loud.
00:29:21But he showed me who he is as a man.
00:29:23Like, what kind of protector, provider he will be for me and our family.
00:29:28And I've never had someone choose me wholeheartedly, like, 100%.
00:29:32And Alex chose me to be, like, his only priority.
00:29:35Those are the important things to me.
00:29:37That's who he is.
00:29:38Yeah.
00:29:38How we doing?
00:29:39Good.
00:29:40She'll do.
00:29:41Just kidding.
00:29:43We're gonna become besties and we're gonna just talk about you and...
00:29:46I'll go golf.
00:29:48Alex does want to settle down.
00:29:51I don't think he'll ever give up traveling and exploring.
00:29:54But I think that he does want something where he feels safe and stable.
00:29:59She would be a wonderful daughter-in-law.
00:30:01Virgo and Pisces can be very compatible.
00:30:05Very compatible.
00:30:05It's one of the good things.
00:30:06Can be.
00:30:06Absolutely.
00:30:18What?
00:30:19It's my family?
00:30:21I'm so nervous.
00:30:22You've been on edge.
00:30:24Yeah, I know.
00:30:24Ah!
00:30:26Ah!
00:30:29Ah!
00:30:30It's...
00:30:30Mike is meeting my family.
00:30:32Mike is meeting the whole gang, my parents, my sisters.
00:30:38Hi!
00:30:39This is Mike.
00:30:39It's so nice to meet you.
00:30:40Nice to meet you.
00:30:41He's gonna get interrogated by everyone.
00:30:45Hi, Mike.
00:30:45Nice to meet you.
00:30:46Great to meet you.
00:30:47Hey, how's it going?
00:30:48Good.
00:30:48Nice to meet you.
00:30:49Good job.
00:30:50Mike, nice to meet you.
00:30:51Same.
00:30:51Should we sit?
00:30:52Yeah.
00:30:53You can sit right there.
00:30:55With my notebook?
00:30:56Did she tell you that I intend...
00:30:57She said you're bringing a notebook and I go, Jesus.
00:30:59To grill me?
00:31:00Yeah.
00:31:00Yeah.
00:31:02I am a big believer in balance in marriage.
00:31:07Yeah.
00:31:07Where do you feel like you fill in some weaknesses?
00:31:12So I think that I do a very good job of keeping her grounded.
00:31:15Great.
00:31:16You should have seen her freaking out when you guys were coming.
00:31:19Uh-huh.
00:31:19Yeah?
00:31:20We freak out.
00:31:21We're a good freak out family.
00:31:23So women, we all have grounders.
00:31:26All of us women have grounders.
00:31:28And that was the biggest thing that why Mike stood out was because he grounded me in the
00:31:32pods.
00:31:33Like, I would go up to him and be like, dude, I am stressed today.
00:31:36That's awesome.
00:31:37I'm telling you, the communication that we've had is insane.
00:31:39That is really good.
00:31:40So when we were talking about kids and he's really, like, challenged me to, like, think more on that spectrum.
00:31:47And I'm like, okay, well, why don't I want kids?
00:31:50Mm-hmm.
00:31:51Um, number one, I don't have a maternal instinct.
00:31:53What?
00:31:54What is that?
00:31:58I think it's there.
00:32:00You take care of mom, aren't you?
00:32:02I think comparing taking care of a dog to having children.
00:32:05Well, I'm not.
00:32:05Yeah.
00:32:06You get what I'm saying, though.
00:32:07She needs to care and still take care of it.
00:32:09You need to walk it.
00:32:10You need to be on a schedule.
00:32:11It needs to feed and all that stuff.
00:32:12And you can leave it alone for eight hours.
00:32:13I'm a strong advocate of, like, I'm somebody who grew up my whole life wanting to be a mom.
00:32:18And I have two kids.
00:32:19And I wake up some days and I'm like, why did I, like, this is the part?
00:32:22She said that.
00:32:23Yeah.
00:32:23You told them that, I'm sure.
00:32:25Yeah, I told them that.
00:32:25I still question my choices.
00:32:26And my rebuttal to that is, do you regret it?
00:32:29And she said no.
00:32:31And I said, then that's all you need to know.
00:32:33I would say, though, if I lived another life, like, I don't regret having my children and I love my
00:32:38children.
00:32:38But if I got to the end of my life and they said, you can do it again, I wouldn't
00:32:41have kids.
00:32:43Okay.
00:32:44Because there's a beautiful thing about living a life for yourself, too.
00:32:47Yeah, sure.
00:32:48So my concern is, as somebody who wanted this and is currently living it and knows how hard it is,
00:32:53if somebody chooses to have kids simply because they're trying to make a partner happy,
00:32:58that's one of the most terrifying thoughts.
00:33:00And that's what I told you.
00:33:01And especially for Emma.
00:33:02Like, I love her to death and I would not be able to live with myself if I didn't say
00:33:06that.
00:33:08Would you be willing to live your life without children or is that not an option?
00:33:11I, so, I was trying to be open about it.
00:33:13The more that I'm thinking about it, like, I don't think I can.
00:33:16That's good.
00:33:17Yeah.
00:33:19Nobody has to justify why they want kids or don't want kids.
00:33:23I love being a grandma.
00:33:24I love being a Mimi.
00:33:26I love my babies.
00:33:29But I also want to support you.
00:33:32Yeah.
00:33:33Yeah.
00:33:33And I haven't, I haven't asked.
00:33:36No, no.
00:33:36Like, I told you I would not push you.
00:33:38No.
00:33:38And like, I'm not, I'm not feeling pushed or pressured on any of this.
00:33:41And I respect your decision, whatever it is.
00:33:43Yeah.
00:33:43Good.
00:33:44Family is so important to me and I would not have said yes if I was not open.
00:33:54But you were a hard no for a long time.
00:33:56Yeah.
00:33:56So that's why we're a little bit protective.
00:33:58I think we were all pretty certain you would not have kids.
00:34:03Throughout the time, he's let me be who I am and like, be independent and have my choices,
00:34:10but also like, is there for me when I need him.
00:34:13On the pods, I didn't want to tell anyone about my adoption or like my surgeries,
00:34:17because those are the deepest parts of me and like, oh, it's just like my self identity is rooted in
00:34:21that.
00:34:22Right.
00:34:22You were so kind and so reassuring.
00:34:24Like I was getting emotional and he was like, I'm here.
00:34:27Take your time.
00:34:28I'm not going anywhere.
00:34:30And the more I thought about kids is like, I don't know if I'm going to pass down the birthmarks.
00:34:35I don't know if my parents had other birth defects.
00:34:39I don't know if my birth mother had birth complications.
00:34:42Right.
00:34:43Do you think you were right of having kids because of your birthmarks and stuff?
00:34:47Oh, yeah.
00:34:48A hundred percent.
00:34:50I had a great life growing up, but like,
00:34:56it was very, very tough mental growth.
00:35:03Like, not feeling good enough comparing myself to other people.
00:35:06Like, I just don't want, like, I like don't want to bring a kid into that because it's tough.
00:35:11Because of your scar?
00:35:14Oh, really?
00:35:15Yeah.
00:35:15Yeah.
00:35:16See, we didn't know.
00:35:16Mm-hmm.
00:35:17Mm-hmm.
00:35:19Because you always handled yourself.
00:35:21Yeah.
00:35:21Yeah.
00:35:23Yeah.
00:35:23With strength.
00:35:24Yeah.
00:35:24And we were curious how much.
00:35:26Yeah.
00:35:26How much she covered up and didn't.
00:35:28In middle school, I think she would come home from school and just shut down and go to the basement.
00:35:33We wouldn't.
00:35:34And she didn't want to talk.
00:35:35Yeah.
00:35:36And then we went to this parent teacher and the teacher's like, Emma just lights up the room.
00:35:40She talks.
00:35:41She drives the conversation.
00:35:42Well, you guys already know that.
00:35:44And you're like, nope.
00:35:45Nope.
00:35:46Yeah.
00:35:46Yeah.
00:35:47Communication's not been my strong suit.
00:35:49I wasn't bullied or anything.
00:35:51No, you had a great.
00:35:51I had a great life.
00:35:52I had a great friendship.
00:35:53It was all mental.
00:35:55Mm-hmm.
00:35:56Right.
00:35:56Like, there was always something that I was like, I felt different.
00:36:03Mm-hmm.
00:36:05Growing up for everything.
00:36:10Also, dating is like, been a whole nother ballgame, especially in Wisconsin.
00:36:15Yeah.
00:36:15It's like, you still feel different.
00:36:19Like, you want to be chosen, you know?
00:36:21Yeah.
00:36:22And sometimes I wasn't, you know?
00:36:27So.
00:36:30We try, you know?
00:36:31Yeah.
00:36:32To check in and make sure everything's okay.
00:36:34And on the outside, you were okay.
00:36:36And I hope we did good by you.
00:36:40No.
00:36:40No.
00:36:41You guys did amazing.
00:36:42And like, I think for me, I'm just so independent that I like, I don't ask for help.
00:36:48No, you do not.
00:36:49Like, I can do it myself.
00:36:50One of the things I most admire about Emma is that she takes care of herself.
00:36:55And I know how much mothers lose by having children.
00:36:59And I don't want you to lose that.
00:37:01Yeah.
00:37:09You can't do everything that you think you're going to do with kids.
00:37:12So many people that haven't had kids yet are like, it's not going to change my life.
00:37:16Yeah, it will.
00:37:17Oh, yeah.
00:37:17Yeah, you're not.
00:37:18They will ruin your vacations.
00:37:20Believe me, I've heard it from my own parents.
00:37:22I've heard it from my own parents.
00:37:24Uh-huh.
00:37:24It is hard, but it's worth it.
00:37:25My opinion.
00:37:26It is.
00:37:27Not if you don't want them, though.
00:37:28But I got three there.
00:37:29That's been worth it.
00:37:30Yeah, it's only worth it if you want it.
00:37:32No, I know.
00:37:32I'm just advocating for her wishes.
00:37:34I know you're advocating for my wishes, but like, I have the right to change my mind too.
00:37:39Absolutely.
00:37:40I am just supporting you.
00:37:41We are making sure that if you change your mind, that Mike is somebody who is going to
00:37:47be able to support you in the way that we would love you to be supported so that you
00:37:52continue to thrive.
00:37:53Yeah, and that's like, that's what I want.
00:37:55Yep.
00:37:56You having children would be amazing.
00:37:57I would love to be on.
00:37:58I would love that.
00:37:59Are you kidding me?
00:37:59I want to be not so bad.
00:38:01Yeah.
00:38:02She's our baby.
00:38:04I guess, you know, there's the adoption element to this, but we've never thought of her
00:38:09as anything but a member of our family.
00:38:14Yeah.
00:38:18I know.
00:38:20We love her.
00:38:21She's got the best heart.
00:38:23Our two oldest left.
00:38:26We're about three years ahead of her.
00:38:28And so when they left the home, we had Emma to ourselves.
00:38:31So she became our only child.
00:38:33That's great.
00:38:34She's the sweetest, kindest person.
00:38:36My grandma just passed a few years ago and she was like a hundred and six almost.
00:38:41And when they were going through her belongings, there is a stack of handwritten letters from
00:38:48Emma.
00:38:48I mean, who does that?
00:38:50Emma does.
00:38:51I mean, she's just.
00:38:53Yeah.
00:38:54So we want the best for her, obviously.
00:39:00Oh my gosh.
00:39:04Hi.
00:39:09Hey, how's it going?
00:39:10Mike.
00:39:11Nice to meet you.
00:39:12How's it going?
00:39:13Mike.
00:39:14Nice to meet you.
00:39:15Nice to meet you.
00:39:18I think Mike is a genuine guy.
00:39:20Seems like he really cares for Emma.
00:39:23What I was happy to see is they are addressing the hard questions with themselves honestly.
00:39:27If Emma chooses him to be her life partner.
00:39:30Then we choose him.
00:39:32We choose him.
00:39:32If she feels like she's ready for it, then we stand beside her.
00:39:36Hi.
00:39:37I'm Mike.
00:39:37Nice to meet you.
00:39:38Nice to meet you, too.
00:39:40And how old are you?
00:39:42I'm five.
00:39:43Oh, nice.
00:39:44Oh, yeah.
00:39:45She's two.
00:39:46Yeah.
00:39:47So cute.
00:39:48Can you shake hands with Mike?
00:39:49Hi.
00:39:49Good job.
00:39:53Good job.
00:39:54Good job, baby.
00:39:55That doesn't do anything for you.
00:39:58No, it does.
00:39:59Yeah.
00:40:18Hello.
00:40:19Hello.
00:40:19Hi.
00:40:19Hi.
00:40:19Hi.
00:40:20Today, we're meeting Annie, my little sister, my older sister, Katie, and then my mother
00:40:24and father.
00:40:25Oh my gosh, hi.
00:40:26So pretty, Katie.
00:40:27Thank you so much.
00:40:28Hi, Katie.
00:40:30Nice to meet you, guys.
00:40:31Nice to meet you.
00:40:31Oh my God.
00:40:33So nice to meet you.
00:40:33You guys are like all colors.
00:40:35I love it.
00:40:35Hey, man.
00:40:36Oh, you're telling me?
00:40:38These are gorgeous.
00:40:40Thank you, sweetheart.
00:40:40Thank you, sweetheart.
00:40:42I'm hoping she gets to see why I'm the favorite show.
00:40:45Okay, so Connor actually, like, hand-picked these flowers.
00:40:48Wow.
00:40:48Like, one by one.
00:40:49Wow.
00:40:50Can I see something?
00:40:51Oh, wait, you got me.
00:40:53Wait, congrats.
00:40:54Oh, my God.
00:40:55Can you guys believe it?
00:40:56No, I know.
00:40:58I don't even believe it.
00:40:58We're like, oh.
00:40:59I mean, no, I don't believe it.
00:41:00I can't believe it.
00:41:01And you got dressed up, too.
00:41:02Wait, yeah, you're from Michigan, which is crazy.
00:41:05I'm not in, like, this is Michigan.
00:41:07I know!
00:41:08That was, like, one guy.
00:41:09We were screaming.
00:41:11I was screaming.
00:41:12We were talking about our hometowns, and, like,
00:41:13you can see kind of that, you start to see the life together.
00:41:17Mm-hmm.
00:41:17And I just, all I had described was, like, electric.
00:41:20My heart was, like, racing.
00:41:21Like, I was, like, physically responding to, like, talking to him.
00:41:23You guys haven't heard that from a girl before?
00:41:25It's crazy.
00:41:26Dang.
00:41:27Wow.
00:41:27It's so weird.
00:41:29You guys look great together.
00:41:30Can you believe it?
00:41:31I was like, he's not ugly, you guys.
00:41:33I was like, he's not.
00:41:36He's not.
00:41:36Because when you see each other the first time.
00:41:39Yeah, I wouldn't have cared what you look like.
00:41:41Well, but here's the thing is, like, you're so attracted to him for, like,
00:41:43all these different reasons.
00:41:44And I'm like, I don't even care what you look like.
00:41:46I don't even care if you're, like, medium ugly.
00:41:47Yeah.
00:41:47Like, I like you.
00:41:48Like, it doesn't matter.
00:41:49She said it, like, every day.
00:41:51You get it.
00:41:51I'm like, you're not medium ugly.
00:41:52Yeah.
00:41:53I was just obsessed with him, I guess.
00:41:55Should we sit down?
00:41:56Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:41:56Let's sit down.
00:41:57Let's do it.
00:41:58So, what has it been like living together?
00:42:01What?
00:42:02You're, like, smiling.
00:42:03You're smiling.
00:42:04How has it been?
00:42:05Maybe you answered.
00:42:06I think the question is directed at you.
00:42:08It's directed at you.
00:42:08Oh, honestly.
00:42:09No, it's actually been great.
00:42:11Like, I've never lived with anybody.
00:42:13So, transparently, like, the day we were moving in, I, like, had a moment.
00:42:18And I was like, how do you load the dishwasher?
00:42:20How do you do laundry?
00:42:21She literally was waiting for me to load it.
00:42:23Like, you need to see this.
00:42:24Yeah.
00:42:24Show me the good, bad, and the ugly.
00:42:25Yeah.
00:42:26How do you put, like, the knives in?
00:42:27Where do you do it?
00:42:28Oh, I know.
00:42:28Because I haven't loaded a dishwasher in three years.
00:42:30I haven't had a dishwasher.
00:42:31You guys know that?
00:42:32So, I was like, I get one non-judgment.
00:42:34Because I'm like, I don't remember how to do it.
00:42:35You're fine at the dishwasher.
00:42:37I know.
00:42:37He was also, we cooked together, too.
00:42:38And I love to cook.
00:42:40Did he make his famous plain chicken?
00:42:41Not yet.
00:42:42Not yet.
00:42:44She's not huge on pasta like I am.
00:42:46Oh, it's like pasta every day.
00:42:47I'm like, no.
00:42:47I have tried, like, six new things this week, though.
00:42:50Oh!
00:42:51So, I heard you saw his house.
00:42:53You guys.
00:42:53Yeah, how was that?
00:42:54Yeah.
00:42:55Did you go in through the door that doesn't lock?
00:42:58Be honest.
00:42:58There's a keg outside.
00:42:59It's a good investment.
00:43:00I was like, a keg?
00:43:01That's a problem.
00:43:02Yeah.
00:43:02And then you guys would see my house.
00:43:04We couldn't be on more opposite ends of the spectrum.
00:43:07Like, I'm insane.
00:43:08Okay, opposite.
00:43:08I look insane compared to you.
00:43:09Opposite is kind of nuts.
00:43:10He's a single guy.
00:43:12He's a boy.
00:43:13Like, he's just a standard boy.
00:43:15So, when I went in, I was like, this all checked.
00:43:17He is a boy.
00:43:18He's just a dumb boy.
00:43:18I'm like, you're just a boy.
00:43:20He's a Midwest blue collar guy.
00:43:21Yeah, so I was like...
00:43:22Blue collar?
00:43:23Excuse you?
00:43:24I work in a dumpster.
00:43:25He's a hard-working man.
00:43:26He works hard.
00:43:26He's a dumpster business.
00:43:27He works hard.
00:43:29You get out while you put it in.
00:43:30That's the whole collar.
00:43:31So, what was different about him after the pods that you're like, oh, I didn't expect
00:43:35this?
00:43:35The house or what?
00:43:37Actually, I think what was surprising to me, like, I'm not used to, like, I live by myself.
00:43:41I'm so independent.
00:43:42Like, you know, I'm having a bad day.
00:43:44Like, I'm just going to go home and kind of lay on the couch or do whatever I need to
00:43:47do
00:43:47to, like, reset.
00:43:48But managing those emotions together was really crazy.
00:43:51And trusting him, too.
00:43:53Yeah.
00:43:54Like, he literally, I'm, like, crying about, like, being overwhelmed.
00:43:56And he's like, is this helping or hurting?
00:43:58I'm like, I don't even know.
00:44:00That's a really good question to ask, though.
00:44:02Like, I love that.
00:44:03It's so surprising, like, when someone shows up for you like that.
00:44:06Like, I'm, like, not used to it.
00:44:08Was the keg surprising?
00:44:09Yes.
00:44:10Like, what was more surprising is, like, how he showed up for me.
00:44:14I was like, this is wild.
00:44:15Communal.
00:44:15And for you to pick up on those emotional cues for me.
00:44:18I was like, well, this is crazy.
00:44:19Wow.
00:44:20And I was like, if it wasn't Connor, it was nobody.
00:44:22Yeah.
00:44:22Like, really?
00:44:23Right?
00:44:24It was.
00:44:24And I say that wholeheartedly, and my friends know.
00:44:26They're like, you wouldn't be here if this wasn't for real.
00:44:29It's like, we can talk about anything under the sun.
00:44:31Like, I mean, things that, as a single female, that you're like, my biggest insecurities
00:44:37are like, am I being too much?
00:44:38Yeah.
00:44:38Am I being not enough?
00:44:39Like, how am I coming off?
00:44:41And, like, for once, I felt like I could come in and just, like, let it rip.
00:44:44Like, I was like, we're talking about fertility.
00:44:47I'm 33 years old.
00:44:48Like, I just went and had my fertility tested.
00:44:51And, like, this stuff matters.
00:44:52And, like, I think, like, I had the realization of, like, it doesn't matter how quickly you
00:44:56fall in love.
00:44:56It's just a matter of, like, if you're gonna fall in love, right?
00:45:00Love you, honey.
00:45:00Oh, my gosh.
00:45:02The circulation in these hands is amazing.
00:45:03I was about to ask, how do you feel about his sweaty hands?
00:45:05You should have seen this at the review.
00:45:07No, but, like, now they're freezing.
00:45:08Yeah.
00:45:09So, when I met him, you guys, we're just like, oh, my gosh, it's you.
00:45:13And his pomps, he comes up and grabs my hands.
00:45:15I'm like, you're dripping sweat.
00:45:17Yes.
00:45:18I was like, aw.
00:45:18Appreciate it.
00:45:19Isn't this crazy?
00:45:21Ain't she nuts?
00:45:22Like...
00:45:23You guys, actually, though, like, I requested the mustache.
00:45:26Because I was like, I think I would like this.
00:45:28I love you for that.
00:45:29Really nice.
00:45:30I was like, you can rock the mustache 100%.
00:45:32I gotta figure out how much I owe her.
00:45:35Yeah.
00:45:36Yeah.
00:45:39No, it's very nice to see each, when one of your kids
00:45:43finds somebody that is their connection.
00:45:46They appear to be very much in love.
00:45:48I would be proud to call her daughter-in-law.
00:45:52Welcome to the family.
00:46:01How are you feeling after your mom?
00:46:04Good.
00:46:04It's good to see her.
00:46:05I definitely see where you get your travel bug from.
00:46:07Mm-hmm.
00:46:08We kind of had, like, a time to chat.
00:46:10Do you want to talk about your last relationships more?
00:46:13Like, I'm not trying to, like, attack you or anything.
00:46:15Like, I just want to know, like, your story.
00:46:17You know what I mean?
00:46:17I mean, uh, the college was more puppy love.
00:46:19Similar schedules with student athletes.
00:46:21It kind of made sense.
00:46:22There was always, like, you know, her ex was always in the picture
00:46:25as a friend type thing, which was kind of a bigger red flag for me.
00:46:28Like, why are you guys still friends?
00:46:29I don't get it.
00:46:29The Chicago relationship was more the one that you learn.
00:46:32Um, on and off, you know, a little bit of distance to start with.
00:46:37So I don't really blame her for leaving, necessarily.
00:46:39Just the way that she did it was not great.
00:46:41Um, and I don't love that, you know, kind of cheating going on
00:46:46behind the scenes to where it's not great.
00:46:48I don't love that.
00:46:49Yeah, not a big fan of that, obviously.
00:46:50But I also point the finger to myself.
00:46:52I definitely had some growing to do with it.
00:46:54I had to learn who I was outside of soccer.
00:46:56And what I mean by that is, obviously, that relationship ended
00:46:59and I had to go find myself elsewhere, which I did through travel.
00:47:02Okay.
00:47:03Was it just the two, then?
00:47:05Uh, that are the most serious.
00:47:07There's a, you know, a third that was, um, a little bit longer.
00:47:11Oh, the travel nurse?
00:47:12Yes, exactly.
00:47:14Was this the one that was going to go to Australia with you?
00:47:16Yes, yeah.
00:47:17That's pretty serious.
00:47:18You said it wasn't that serious.
00:47:19Well, I mean, it was over four months.
00:47:22It was over a summer.
00:47:22So that one ended before Australia?
00:47:25Correct, yeah.
00:47:26What, why did it end?
00:47:28Well, because I was leaving and she didn't want to travel nurse at that time.
00:47:31You guys, like, ended, like, amicably?
00:47:33Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:47:34Do you still have a relationship with any of your exes?
00:47:37I mean, I'm friends with her, for sure.
00:47:39I mean, she's got a new boyfriend.
00:47:41And by friends, I mean, it's like, hey, I hope you're doing well.
00:47:43But it's not a, hey, let's get back together type thing.
00:47:46When is, like, the last time you guys talked or saw each other?
00:47:49A while ago.
00:47:50I mean, I saw her in Austin for, um, a week.
00:47:55When was that?
00:47:56Um, when is it? September-ish?
00:48:00Were you visiting her in Austin?
00:48:02I was visiting a number of people in Austin, yeah.
00:48:04Was she one of them?
00:48:05Yes, yeah.
00:48:06What was that dynamic when you visited her then?
00:48:09I mean, we hooked up, for sure.
00:48:11September's not that long ago.
00:48:12It's just weird because I'm not friends with my ex and I don't care to text him, hope he's well.
00:48:19And that's how I am with the one that, you know, was cheating on me as well.
00:48:23Yeah.
00:48:23Um, but I'm happy to cut that off if it's an issue.
00:48:26No, I'm just, if you're, like, confident in that, that's fine.
00:48:30So what was your dating life like in Cleveland then, before?
00:48:33Because you were in Cleveland for a year and a half.
00:48:34Yeah.
00:48:35Like, I didn't expect you to not have any relationship.
00:48:37No, there, yeah, there was a situationship for sure.
00:48:39I met her through the gym.
00:48:40We were, you know, probably about three, maybe four months.
00:48:44She ended things.
00:48:45I don't think she understood my lifestyle and my nomadic dynamic that I've been living for the past three or
00:48:50four years.
00:48:51She ended things.
00:48:52And then I think a month later, roughly, I kind of got the LinkedIn message to kind of come onto
00:48:59this show.
00:49:00And at that point, I shut things down.
00:49:03Um, I don't know, October, I think.
00:49:07I'd have to get a look at that, but I believe it was early October.
00:49:11Um, and then I...
00:49:12So...
00:49:13Go ahead.
00:49:13You said you got the LinkedIn message about a month after, in October?
00:49:16Yeah.
00:49:17Which would mean that you were seeing this girl in September?
00:49:22Which is when you went to Austin?
00:49:27No.
00:49:28So this girl in Austin was right after this girl in Cleveland.
00:49:36Okay.
00:49:37But there was some kind of relationship with the Austin girl, because you don't just, like...
00:49:41Yeah.
00:49:41...go to Austin and see a girl.
00:49:43Two days after the girl ended things that I was seeing in Cleveland, I reached out to my ex.
00:49:50It was my ego basically saying, okay, you want to end things, that's fine.
00:49:54I can go get whatever I want right afterwards.
00:49:56I'm not the greatest, because I didn't like being broken up with at that time.
00:50:00And then I came back to Cleveland afterwards, and it was how it worked.
00:50:03That doesn't make me look great, but it's honest.
00:50:06Yeah.
00:50:06Okay.
00:50:08Okay.
00:50:08I was just making sure.
00:50:10Yeah.
00:50:11What...
00:50:12I feel like something about that makes you uncomfortable.
00:50:14No.
00:50:14Like I said, I was just...
00:50:15I wanted to make sure, like, we've talked about cheating as, like, a non-negotiable.
00:50:19So, like, when you set the timeline, and it was, like, September, I was like...
00:50:23Okay.
00:50:23It's not...
00:50:24There was no overlap.
00:50:25And even if there was, we weren't together exclusively, because I asked the question,
00:50:28and she didn't want that.
00:50:29But there was no overlap.
00:50:31Okay.
00:50:33Okay.
00:50:34When I stumble, it's...
00:50:36I'm trying to remember the exact date of two years ago or a year ago.
00:50:38I'm not trying to follow you.
00:50:39I'm not trying to, like, catch you.
00:50:40So...
00:50:41I know you're not.
00:50:41I know you're not.
00:50:42But I wanted to make, like, very clear there was absolutely no overlap.
00:50:46You got it.
00:50:46It's also not cheating in my eyes.
00:50:48No.
00:50:48I wouldn't say that either.
00:50:50Okay.
00:50:51You cope how you cope.
00:50:52Mm-hmm.
00:50:52I think the biggest thing for me was, like, I was in a relationship just about a year ago,
00:50:57and I thought that man was going to be, like, the father of my children, and, like, I thought
00:51:00I was going to have babies with him.
00:51:01Just please be honest with me.
00:51:03Yeah.
00:51:04And, like, please don't cheat.
00:51:06Um...
00:51:06That's not happening.
00:51:07And I apologize, like, that that's happened to you before.
00:51:09Not really my place to say sorry, but I don't love that that's happened for you.
00:51:13You have to say sorry.
00:51:15Yeah.
00:51:19Back at you.
00:51:23Yeah.
00:51:46That's not a big one.
00:51:48Yeah.
00:51:49Yeah.
00:51:53There's no play ball.
00:51:55A few more of these, I'm losing a finger.
00:51:59Vic's here.
00:52:01Let's go!
00:52:06Look at that!
00:52:12Good to see you, man. Holy shit.
00:52:15You good?
00:52:15Hey, what up, guys?
00:52:18Oh, you smell so good.
00:52:22Oh, my God.
00:52:25Oh, my God.
00:52:25Oh, my God.
00:52:26Oh, my God.
00:52:28I wanted to see you guys.
00:52:32Oh, my God.
00:52:34Yeah, I'm like, I had to celebrate with my girls.
00:52:37Are you kidding me?
00:52:38Oh, I love you.
00:52:40I love you. I love you guys.
00:52:42Wow, what a fucking fun.
00:52:43I love you guys.
00:52:44Woo!
00:52:50Oh, my God.
00:52:55Oh, my God.
00:52:56Oh, my God.
00:52:58Oh, my God.
00:52:58Oh, my God.
00:53:12I know.
00:53:13I know.
00:53:13She's just, like, the sweet little, like, nurturing angel.
00:53:16Yeah.
00:53:17I have no words for Chris.
00:53:18That man's delusional.
00:53:19That man is so fucking delusional.
00:53:20I just got, like, some obscure, like, oh, yeah, in my DM.
00:53:25I was like, what's up?
00:53:26From who?
00:53:26From Chris.
00:53:27Shut the fuck up.
00:53:28Yeah, shut up.
00:53:29Connor and I were making dinner at the house.
00:53:30I, like, checked my phone, and then I had a friend request from Chris.
00:53:34And I was like, what the fuck?
00:53:36So I accepted it.
00:53:38He DMed me at, like, 11.30 and was like, oh, yeah.
00:53:42And then I was like, what the fuck happened last night?
00:53:44And he was like, call me.
00:53:45And I'm like, no.
00:53:47I literally was like, Connor, abort.
00:53:48I was like, look at this.
00:53:49Did Connor say anything to him?
00:53:51I said, don't make a big deal out of nothing.
00:53:53Like, who knows?
00:53:53This man is, like, spiraling.
00:53:54I was like, obviously, I'm not engaging with it.
00:53:57It's not a big deal.
00:53:58Guys, he bought followers.
00:54:00No.
00:54:01Yeah.
00:54:02We were talking.
00:54:03So that's why I was like, you can't afford me.
00:54:03Wait, he bought followers?
00:54:05He bought followers.
00:54:05I want to unfollow.
00:54:06He can't follow.
00:54:07I can't afford me.
00:54:08All of his followers, if you look, are, like, all random, like, random people
00:54:11that don't know followers, two posts, and they're, like, all from, like, Mexico.
00:54:17Okay, I don't understand that.
00:54:18He was my number two.
00:54:19He is a different person.
00:54:21No.
00:54:21Like, first night single goes to a strip club.
00:54:23I'm like, the way I gasped, I was like, no.
00:54:27The strip club picture.
00:54:29And the pole in the background.
00:54:31And the stripper on his left.
00:54:33Like, it was, like, one extreme to the next, like, not even just, like, fucking gross-ass bitch.
00:54:39It's exactly it.
00:54:40I'm like, this is not, something's off.
00:54:41Something doesn't match up.
00:54:42Narcissistic fuck.
00:54:43He literally told Connor he goes for 21 to 25 year olds.
00:54:47I was like, so, she's 38.
00:54:49Like, what?
00:54:50I am.
00:54:50This is why I told you guys, fuck those pussy ass bitches.
00:54:53And he is one of them.
00:54:54We're too fucking short to be this cocky.
00:54:58He's...
00:54:58Too short to ride this ride.
00:55:00Never.
00:55:01I wanna see your heart shatter on the floor.
00:55:06I wanna watch you hurt like never before.
00:55:14Oh, shit.
00:55:15Oh, God.
00:55:16Oh, my God.
00:55:19What's up?
00:55:20I'm a big dog.
00:55:21What's up, man?
00:55:21How are you?
00:55:22Good to see you.
00:55:23Chris and Jess is weird.
00:55:25They seem like such a good couple.
00:55:27But I don't think about it too much.
00:55:29Just because me and Bri at the end of the day is what I came here for.
00:55:32So...
00:55:32I'm like, hi.
00:55:33How are you?
00:55:34Good to see you.
00:55:36Welcome back to the crazy.
00:55:38We're here.
00:55:39I don't know.
00:55:40Dudes are fucking idiots at the end of the day.
00:55:41Amber.
00:55:42What's up?
00:55:43How are you?
00:55:44Good to see you.
00:55:58How are you?
00:56:03Do you like the outfit?
00:56:09Awesome.
00:56:12Oh, I miss you.
00:56:13Never let it be like you.
00:56:14You look amazing.
00:56:16God, your body is so perfect.
00:56:18I'm not even kidding.
00:56:19You didn't work out.
00:56:20Have you been working out?
00:56:22You're actually not fucking good.
00:56:24You're actually not.
00:56:25You haven't?
00:56:25I'm not going to work out anymore.
00:56:26You walked in.
00:56:27They all hate me.
00:56:28You're ugly.
00:56:29I don't give a flying fuck.
00:56:42Wait, who's here?
00:56:43She just showed up.
00:56:45I don't know.
00:56:46Priyanka?
00:56:47My God.
00:56:50I think?
00:56:50Yeah.
00:56:51Is that free?
00:56:51Yeah.
00:56:52Oh, God.
00:56:54Is it?
00:56:57How do you know Priyanka?
00:56:59Priyanka was in a friend group of mine in Chicago.
00:57:01She's been in my friend group for a little while.
00:57:03Hello.
00:57:04What's up?
00:57:04Hi.
00:57:05How are you?
00:57:06Good. How are you doing?
00:57:07Hi, Priyanka.
00:57:08Yeah.
00:57:09She was in the pods.
00:57:10But I wanted Priyanka to have her entire experience untarnished.
00:57:14And if I'm going to come out and say, hey, we knew each other,
00:57:17there's a chance for that not to happen.
00:57:19Hi.
00:57:19Hi.
00:57:19She's amazing.
00:57:20What are we doing without each other?
00:57:22What are we doing?
00:57:23Hi.
00:57:24It's the whole damn time.
00:57:26You look great.
00:57:27You look great.
00:57:28Thanks.
00:57:29It's so beautiful.
00:57:30Are you real?
00:57:31I know simulations.
00:57:33I do.
00:57:36I like this, actually, a lot.
00:57:37Oh, thanks, man.
00:57:38It's good.
00:57:38It's fresh.
00:57:39Yeah.
00:57:39It's a nice sweater.
00:57:40Be careful how you touch it.
00:57:41It's expensive.
00:57:43I'm just kidding.
00:57:45It's expensive.
00:57:46He's a funny guy.
00:57:47You think you're a funny guy, don't you?
00:57:57Mexico is great.
00:57:59Mexico is incredible.
00:58:00So in love.
00:58:01Everything's amazing.
00:58:02We literally thought they were already married.
00:58:04Okay.
00:58:04Because that's what I thought.
00:58:06So it's amazing whatever we get back.
00:58:07He was like, how would you rate our physical connection on a scale of one to ten?
00:58:12This is where I'm about to kick him in the teeth.
00:58:14And I go, what?
00:58:16What do you mean?
00:58:17And he's like, well, like, I'm just, I'm used to being with somebody who works out every day.
00:58:22Are you fucking kidding me?
00:58:23This is where I kick him in the teeth.
00:58:26I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm confused.
00:58:28What he said is gross.
00:58:30Okay.
00:58:31But then he also said, before we stopped talking, he was like, I also like, keep wondering,
00:58:35like, what if I had chose my number too?
00:58:38What was his number?
00:58:39Greasy.
00:58:40Greasy.
00:58:41Oh.
00:58:41So then that night, he started an Instagram out of nowhere.
00:58:45And then he posts a story on Instagram of him at a strip club with his friends with
00:58:49a stripper on his left.
00:58:51She's like, no.
00:58:52The bar is on the ground.
00:58:55Yeah.
00:58:55And like, obviously, Christine, like, I don't follow him.
00:58:58I don't want anything to do with it.
00:59:00But everybody screenshotted it and sent it to me.
00:59:02I know that that is not okay for me.
00:59:04And I don't have anything to do with him.
00:59:07And he's also since split into another girl's team.
00:59:11He told me about it right away.
00:59:13I'm just an honest person.
00:59:14I know you are.
00:59:15I know you are.
00:59:15People fucking don't like it.
00:59:17All right.
00:59:18I'll be right back.
00:59:18I gotta pee.
00:59:20You know that he has issues, right?
00:59:23You know this is nothing about you.
00:59:25I was 110% in.
00:59:27I was 110% in love.
00:59:29Three years ago, it would have, like, ended me.
00:59:35Dude, Brie is so hot.
00:59:39I saw Brie and I was like, yeah, I'm into her.
00:59:42And I want to talk to her.
00:59:44And Connor, I don't care.
00:59:46What's he gonna do?
00:59:48Beat me up?
00:59:49Yeah.
00:59:49Yeah, right.
01:00:04Wait.
01:00:05Amber, I love this guy so much.
01:00:07I love Chris.
01:00:07I love Chris.
01:00:08I love this dude so much.
01:00:09I know him.
01:00:10He's such a good dude.
01:00:11Everyone's like, you know, Amber is like, they're like,
01:00:13yo, she's crazy, she's crazy.
01:00:15She's, like, too much for us.
01:00:16But I'm like, she's perfect for this dude.
01:00:18You and fucking Amber are, like, goddamn, like,
01:00:22the only couple that's the only one that can get married.
01:00:23I swear to God, I said that to his face.
01:00:26He's good for me.
01:00:27No, I swear to God.
01:00:30I swear to God.
01:00:30He's so tamed.
01:00:32Yes.
01:00:32He does.
01:00:33He's so crazy, too.
01:00:35I love him.
01:00:36Amber, in a good way.
01:00:37I know you, you probably fucking date me.
01:00:40A little bit, man.
01:00:41Okay.
01:00:41No, stop.
01:00:42Listen.
01:00:42I just feel like you don't, like, I don't know,
01:00:45know me, like, as, like, a person person.
01:00:48Like, I promise you, like, I'm not, like, a crazy asshole.
01:00:51I swear to God.
01:00:53Chris doesn't give a shit about anything but himself,
01:00:55so I don't give a shit about him.
01:00:56You think you're gonna get another hot doctor?
01:00:59I'm just saying.
01:01:00I'm just saying.
01:01:01Okay.
01:01:02It's okay.
01:01:07She's back.
01:01:08Are you okay?
01:01:09No, I'm fine.
01:01:10Listen, I don't care if she's a neurosurgeon
01:01:12or if she's a goddamn hundred million dollar trust fund.
01:01:15If I'm gonna get married to someone for the rest of my life,
01:01:17I need to be, like...
01:01:23You don't need a reason.
01:01:24Like, you are...
01:01:24No, no.
01:01:25I'm not gonna say it.
01:01:26I don't give a fucking fuck.
01:01:28I've heard him say it.
01:01:29I don't give a fucking fuck.
01:01:29What, four times already?
01:01:32You couldn't pay me to be in that conversation?
01:01:35The sex and, like, everything, like...
01:01:38I could see it, like, growing.
01:01:40Yeah.
01:01:40And, like...
01:01:42I even said it and it's gonna be on camera.
01:01:45Like, I don't give a flying fuck.
01:01:46Like, I need someone, like, that does, like, Pilates
01:01:49or, like...
01:01:50Did she hide that from you in the pods?
01:01:52No, but she said she danced for 15 years,
01:01:53and I was like, okay, well, that may be a thing,
01:01:56but, like, I don't care.
01:01:57I've been with girls who don't work out,
01:01:58but they're also, like, 5'11", and they're taller than me.
01:02:01I don't give a flying fuck.
01:02:02And they're, like, ballet dancers and shit.
01:02:04I mean, she's not, like, morbidly obese or anything.
01:02:06She's not.
01:02:07She's stunning.
01:02:07She's beautiful.
01:02:08She's great.
01:02:09She's hot.
01:02:09Yeah, I agree.
01:02:11And I'm like, Jess, you're beautiful.
01:02:12You just want someone that works out.
01:02:13You want someone who goes to the gym with you.
01:02:14You want someone who's, like, doing those things,
01:02:16like, you have the partner things together.
01:02:17It's way different.
01:02:18It's way different.
01:02:19It's way different.
01:02:20And, like, the discipline and, like, the...
01:02:22I need to redo a sexual attraction when we're naked together.
01:02:25And it's like...
01:02:25I feel like there's a thing, like,
01:02:26when you're, like, having sex with someone,
01:02:28it's, like, pheromones.
01:02:29And, like, it's, like, you're with together,
01:02:31and, like, you love it with each other.
01:02:33And, like, it just...
01:02:34For me, I tried it multiple times.
01:02:36It just wasn't there.
01:02:37And I'm like, I don't know if we can do this
01:02:39for the rest of my life.
01:02:40And I was like, I'm gonna bring this up.
01:02:41Like, this is a big thing.
01:02:42And I was like, listen, we have such a deep emotional connection.
01:02:45I could not do that for the rest of my life.
01:02:47You guys can say whatever you want.
01:02:49No, I don't know.
01:02:49I'm trying to...
01:02:50I'm not trying to...
01:02:51I'm not trying to get it.
01:02:52I don't know.
01:02:52For me, like, if I'm gonna be this one the rest of my life...
01:02:55And listen, listen.
01:02:56No, no, no, Ashley.
01:02:57Ashley and Pri, Ashley and Pri, listen to me.
01:02:59When I'm 90, I don't give a flying fuck,
01:03:01but guess what, girls?
01:03:02Like, I am fucking 30.
01:03:04Girls.
01:03:04I want to fuck when I'm...
01:03:05Women.
01:03:05Like, yes.
01:03:07I want to, like, do those things for at least 40 more years,
01:03:10and I want to enjoy it.
01:03:11And, like, if I...
01:03:12It's not there.
01:03:12If I'm not, like, such objective to you, like,
01:03:15I'm not gonna force it or...
01:03:16But I told her, I said,
01:03:17maybe this can grow.
01:03:18Maybe it can.
01:03:19And I asked her, and she said,
01:03:21adios.
01:03:22And I said...
01:03:22Adios.
01:03:23I was not trying to be mean.
01:03:24I swear to God, I was not trying to be mean.
01:03:26If I want to marry someone, like,
01:03:27I want to make sure, like...
01:03:29Trust me.
01:03:29It doesn't need to be 100%,
01:03:30but, like, it needs to be something enjoyable,
01:03:32but it was the worst I've ever had in my life.
01:03:34You're screaming.
01:03:34I am...
01:03:35Your voice is echoing.
01:03:36I'm sorry.
01:03:38I'm loud, and I'm like, wait.
01:03:39We should all, like, do something together.
01:03:41Like, just me and then...
01:03:42Just me and then...
01:03:43I will buy.
01:03:43Do you want to, like, chat with Alex a little bit?
01:03:46Chase?
01:03:47Me?
01:03:48What do you mean?
01:03:48Me?
01:03:49Okay, I'm ready. Sorry.
01:03:50All right, we are we.
01:03:51Seriously?
01:03:52I'm on...
01:03:53I'm on nobody's side with anything.
01:03:55Like, we're all navigating it.
01:03:56I love that.
01:03:56Like, Connor and I have kind of, like,
01:03:58stayed in our lane of just doing our thing,
01:04:00because it's, like, hard when you open it up to everybody
01:04:02and hear everyone's stories,
01:04:03because it's, like, I hear Jess, I hear you,
01:04:06but, like, I get it.
01:04:06Like, we're making a big fucking decision.
01:04:08I just laugh so loud,
01:04:09because when you say, like, me and Connor,
01:04:11I just kind of like...
01:04:12What?
01:04:13Why is it funny?
01:04:18You want me to let it rip?
01:04:20I like Connor, but he's very submissive.
01:04:26I could have turned up the notch with you,
01:04:30and Connor wouldn't be...
01:04:31What do you mean?
01:04:31... in existence.
01:04:33Oh, like, in the pods?
01:04:34Yeah.
01:04:38I see it in the real world, and I'm like,
01:04:40fuck, I fucked up.
01:04:45Connor loves me to the nth degree.
01:04:46He's a great guy.
01:04:47He'll love me from the...
01:04:47I think he's an amazing guy.
01:04:48When that's the thing.
01:04:48He will say yes at the altar,
01:04:50and he will say,
01:04:51I will love you forever,
01:04:52and I'll do the dishes,
01:04:53and I'll clean the house.
01:04:54Yeah.
01:04:55And you're like, well,
01:04:56I need someone who's going to do a lot more.
01:04:59I'm bringing him to my hometown this weekend,
01:05:02and my dad and my family are all like...
01:05:04He's gonna meet your dad?
01:05:05Finally.
01:05:06Your dad's a legit man
01:05:08who's been successful in life.
01:05:09He needs somebody
01:05:10who you're gonna introduce him to
01:05:11to be like, hey,
01:05:12this is my Charles Schwab account.
01:05:14Yeah.
01:05:14This is what I'm doing.
01:05:15This is what's going on in life.
01:05:16This is where my rejections are
01:05:18one to three years.
01:05:19That's what you need.
01:05:20Oh, come on.
01:05:23We're going to Grand Rapids this weekend.
01:05:25I heard.
01:05:26Do you feel, like, ready, confident?
01:05:29I think we'll get along.
01:05:30I mean, I'm just literally
01:05:30a normal blue-collar dude.
01:05:32Like, I work for a dumpster rental company.
01:05:34Like, if Brie has confidence in somebody,
01:05:36like, that's the utmost confidence,
01:05:38because she's not going to fuck around
01:05:39with some randos.
01:05:40No.
01:05:41And, like, I talked to, like,
01:05:42one of her friends,
01:05:42and it's like,
01:05:43I don't think she's looking for someone
01:05:44to, like, outwork her,
01:05:45outmotivate her,
01:05:46out, like, out for her.
01:05:48I think Brie and I are very similar,
01:05:50and the way you're showing up for her
01:05:52is exactly what she needs.
01:05:54Yeah.
01:05:57Is it the best you've ever had?
01:05:58What, sex?
01:06:01No, but it's good.
01:06:02Okay.
01:06:03I...
01:06:04So you're looking for the best you've ever had.
01:06:06I like to give the best...
01:06:09Yeah.
01:06:10...they've ever had.
01:06:11So, like, that's important to me.
01:06:13Like, people are like,
01:06:14oh, it's 5%.
01:06:15No, but that's why I was like...
01:06:16Like, for me, it's important.
01:06:18For me, it's important.
01:06:19Great.
01:06:19Sometimes you get the ick.
01:06:20Like, I get it.
01:06:21Like...
01:06:22It's not the ick.
01:06:22It's hard.
01:06:23It's, like, horrible.
01:06:25I'll be honest with you.
01:06:27Um, I just feel like,
01:06:28I feel like you guys
01:06:28aren't gonna get married,
01:06:29and I feel like
01:06:30you need someone who's gonna be
01:06:31more dominant in your life
01:06:32and to help you, like, guide you,
01:06:34and, like, show you places
01:06:35you've never been before.
01:06:37Yeah.
01:06:37He's a very submissive guy.
01:06:39I'm not a submissive guy.
01:06:40I know.
01:06:40I'm not like that.
01:06:41Like, I would never be submissive
01:06:42in my life.
01:06:43I want to do that with you.
01:06:45Stop.
01:06:46I swear to God.
01:06:46I even said to Jess,
01:06:48I was like,
01:06:49Brie is, like, a girl, like,
01:06:50I would go for
01:06:51in my normal world.
01:06:52And I was like,
01:06:54she's hot.
01:06:55The way she looks,
01:06:56the things she does.
01:06:57I'm just saying.
01:07:00I feel a regret
01:07:02because I saw you
01:07:04and I was like,
01:07:07that is the girl, like,
01:07:09I would literally propose to.
01:07:23I know I've never felt like this in my life.
01:07:26I love you deeply, baby.
01:07:28Deeply.
01:07:30I 100% think you are the right part.
01:07:33I love her authenticity.
01:07:34You excited for the wedding?
01:07:35Mm-hmm.
01:07:36Yeah.
01:07:36Excited to see you in a tux.
01:07:38I know what it's like to feel loved now.
01:07:42You love me.
01:07:43I feel like I even fall in love with you,
01:07:45like, more and more each day.
01:07:46It feels like a forever thing.
01:07:47I want to do life with you
01:07:48and experience so much with you.
01:07:50Yeah.
01:07:50At the same time,
01:07:51if you're not sure about me.
01:07:53Insecurity's coming out a little bit.
01:07:55I guess that's my fear with you.
01:07:57I definitely am stronger feelings than he has,
01:08:00and that scares me.
01:08:01Please leave me alone.
01:08:03It just feels like you have a backup plan.
01:08:06I don't know.
01:08:07She's the inverse of what I like.
01:08:08I want that brunette brown-eyed girl.
01:08:11You've been in contact with her for years.
01:08:13Right now, I feel attacked.
01:08:15I've never dated a woman with a child before.
01:08:18I tried to think this whole thing through,
01:08:19like, fully before making a lifelong commitment.
01:08:22I am super in love with you.
01:08:24I trust you, like, with all my heart
01:08:26that you were, like, communicating everything to me.
01:08:28I love him so much.
01:08:30But, like, he really wants kids
01:08:31the next three to five years,
01:08:32and I'm like, I don't want kids
01:08:34until, like, I personally want them.
01:08:35It's hard.
01:08:36I never want to sway her opinion,
01:08:38and she needs to make this decision first.
01:08:40Can I ask you a crazy question?
01:08:42Can you be honest?
01:08:42What?
01:08:43With your wedding ring on?
01:08:44Yeah.
01:08:45Like, what?
01:08:46If you had to choose, like, one person...
01:08:49For Mr. Fusco.
01:08:50Babies.
01:08:51Yeah.
01:08:53You knew what you were doing.
01:08:54I think you were ready for marriage.
01:08:57I'm just feeling really blessed
01:08:59and really thankful.
01:09:00Your whole future right in front of you.
01:09:02I'm so happy.
01:09:03Aw, Emma.
01:09:05Now is the time to decide
01:09:06if love is blind.
01:09:09This is the biggest moment of my life.
01:09:12We can't keep holding on.
01:09:16Don't tell me everything's alright.
01:09:21You say we gotta be strong, but I can't stay here one more night.
01:09:30Get it out of my head.
01:09:39Get it out, get it out of my head.
01:10:16Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
