00:07Sex is important for me.
00:08Oh, my God.
00:09Yes.
00:10Calm down over there.
00:11You're such a family person.
00:13I know.
00:13You could be a great mother.
00:16I do have a seven-year-old daughter.
00:18Are you feeling nervous or anxious about bringing two people into your life?
00:22Am I nervous?
00:22Yeah.
00:22But it feels like more of like a privilege.
00:25I've done like Ironmans.
00:26I like doing like triathlons.
00:27That is so attractive.
00:28I went to school at Michigan.
00:30That is the hottest thing I've heard all day.
00:32I hate Ohio State.
00:34She's intelligent, loyal.
00:35So kind and compassionate, empathetic.
00:39I don't want to be corny, not like that you were made for me.
00:41You could say that.
00:43I feel like we've had an amazing connection.
00:45But I just like want to focus on my other connection.
00:49I was actually going to have the same conversation with you.
00:51Stop it, Chris.
00:52You have that it factor.
00:55You stick out for me.
00:56So what you going to do, Kevin?
00:58I don't want to fucking let anybody down.
01:01You are not ready for a relationship.
01:04My grandfather passed away.
01:07I'm so sorry.
01:09I'm on one meet and I would love to know if you do the honor of being my wife.
01:13I would love to.
01:15Yes.
01:15I love you.
01:16I love you so much.
01:18Thank you for accepting me for me.
01:21Connor.
01:22Finally.
01:23Thinking about our future together, I know that the best is yet to come.
01:27Seeing you, it literally makes it like a thousand times better.
01:29It feels like we've known each other for such a long time.
01:32Definitely can get used to this.
01:34Amber.
01:35Definitely think love is blind.
01:36The next time that I do have sex, I want it to be with a person that I 100%
01:41we are going
01:42to spend the rest of our lives together.
01:44If I saw you in the wild, I would think that you would only want to be with like a
01:48gym rat.
01:48Being able to like swim in the morning, have a workout.
01:50Like I have to do that.
01:51I wish I felt that way.
01:53Brittany is the physical attributes that I find attractive.
01:55Still trying to figure out and gauge whether the physical matches the emotional.
01:58Have you expressed that to her at all?
02:01Obviously, I was super excited to see you.
02:05Never have I ever had a hickey.
02:06I can give you a first one.
02:08I don't want a hickey.
02:09I literally don't feel like we're even engaged.
02:11There's just a lot going on in my head right now.
02:14All this stuff with my family, adjusting back to life.
02:16So sorry.
02:17There's other things on my mind, too.
02:34He should have just gone home.
02:36What do you mean?
02:37He should have gone home after his grandpa died.
02:40You feel overwhelmed at the fact that you lost your grandpa.
02:42I know exactly how that feels.
02:44I just lost my grandma a year ago.
02:46This is my life, too.
02:48I'm talking about marrying you.
02:50And you're pissed off that I'm expressing my feelings.
02:54And he thinks that I'm just supposed to understand
02:57that it's okay for you to not talk to me for two days.
03:01That I'm just supposed to understand that.
03:04You should have just gone home.
03:07Brittany out here?
03:08Yes.
03:12You want to talk?
03:19Thank you, Mom.
03:30I feel like yesterday you validated me in me saying
03:34that I felt like we were disconnected.
03:37But had you said, like, I'm going through it
03:41and I don't feel like I can give you everything
03:43that I need to give you right now,
03:45just be patient with me,
03:49would have been different.
03:50Because I would be able to understand.
03:52I have vocalized that.
03:54That's why I've been understanding and giving you space.
03:59Well, I feel like you're not being understanding right now.
04:04I feel so alone.
04:07You can't even freaking talk to me
04:09when we have no other problems going on.
04:12There's so much once we have kids.
04:15That's a huge factor
04:16that's going to completely rock our world.
04:18I don't know how you feel about me.
04:20I know the things that you told me
04:23in the pod
04:23and I know the emotional connection that we built
04:26or else I wouldn't even be here.
04:29I wouldn't be here if I didn't believe in us.
04:31But I'm not going to sit here
04:33and feel like I'm not seen.
04:40I just don't feel like you're in a place
04:41where you're ready for everything that this entails.
04:45I think I am.
04:46This has just been a lot.
04:57I'm sorry.
04:58Like, you have felt this way.
05:05It's all new.
05:23It's not always like this.
05:28You know that?
05:35I hear you.
05:49I'm sorry.
05:53I'm sorry.
05:55I'm sorry.
05:56I'm sorry.
05:59I'm with you to the end.
06:02To the end.
06:07To the end.
06:18We'll be back, Cabo.
06:20Don't you ever forget it.
06:20We sure will be.
06:22Sad to be leaving.
06:24Excited to go home.
06:25Last day.
06:26Let's get to the airport.
06:27Let's do it.
06:27Rollin' out.
06:29Passenger princess, one suitcase.
06:32Three suitcases.
06:35Bye, Cabo.
06:37Our engaged couples are returning home
06:40from their romantic getaway.
06:42They are about to enter the most intense phase
06:45of the experiment.
06:46That's right.
06:46Living together in the real world.
06:48Hey, ma.
06:49Hey, ma.
06:50I'm here with my fiance.
06:52Hi.
06:54Hi, Victoria.
06:56Hi, Victoria.
06:56So I got engaged and I'm...
07:00How will they integrate their lives, homes, careers?
07:03Will they allow modern distractions
07:05or the opinions of friends and family to sabotage them?
07:08I'm engaged.
07:10Are you dying?
07:12Oh, she is hung up.
07:16Welcome to my home state, Ohio.
07:20Oh, wait.
07:21I-O.
07:22Welcome home, everybody.
07:24Here we go.
07:26Here we go.
07:26It all started with love.
07:28A true emotional connection.
07:31Oh, my gosh.
07:32Damn.
07:33Wait, this is so cute.
07:36What's the first order of business?
07:37Cleanse the evil spirits.
07:41Yeah.
07:41I'm- yeah.
07:42I'm trying to, like, save you.
07:43Get all the demons out of you.
07:45Get that out of here.
07:46Now in just three weeks, they'll be at the altar
07:48and make the most important decision of their lives.
07:51Are you serious?
07:53You don't know how to use a can opener?
07:54Oh, my God.
07:55Will they prove that love is blind?
08:02It's so wild to come back here.
08:05All the shit that we had to do,
08:06all of the things we need to figure out for work coming up.
08:09But, like, what I appreciated about you is you were like,
08:12hey, look, like, I am stressed right now,
08:14but it's not about you.
08:15It's very easy for me to, like, get in my head and spiral
08:18if somebody seems upset or something.
08:20Mm-hmm.
08:20And the fact that without prompting, you were like,
08:23I need you to know, like, this isn't you.
08:25That made me feel much safer.
08:28Yeah, I just think it's important to know,
08:30or at least say how I'm feeling,
08:31rather than the whole day goes by and I don't.
08:33Right, because I would have just been like,
08:34well, he fucking hates me now.
08:35Like, what happened?
08:36Yeah.
08:37Which I don't, obviously.
08:39Thank you for clarifying.
08:40Yeah.
08:41And I appreciate that.
08:43I want to say I feel like it's, like,
08:44the less of the drama of a lot of these things I hear.
08:47Not to describe it.
08:48It's a fucking drama.
08:50I actually mentioned that to Emma.
08:52I told Poole.
08:53Mm-hmm.
08:54What'd she say?
08:55I brought up Connor.
08:57And I just don't know how they were in the pods, right?
08:59Like, no one knows.
09:00Like, all I know is, like, the lounge experience.
09:02But she's like, I don't want to talk about that right now.
09:04And I was like, oh, okay.
09:05I mean, she was so upset that day.
09:06Yeah.
09:07So that makes sense.
09:09This is so much shit.
09:10You don't even know what happened in there.
09:11The way the girls talked to me
09:12versus how they talked in the pods
09:15and vice versa for the guys,
09:16like, it was probably very different.
09:18You just know, like, what people say.
09:20Yeah.
09:21Well, you'll find out.
09:22You'll find out when everyone's together.
09:23Mm-hmm.
09:24Oh, well.
09:26All I know is, you know, our experience.
09:28I just feel like I'm just
09:29literally just hanging out with you.
09:30Same.
09:31I know.
09:32But that actually could have scared me, too.
09:35Oh, God.
09:36Because I'm like, wait, why is this so natural?
09:38Yeah.
09:38Bodies in the basement?
09:40Like, what's going on?
09:41I don't have a basement, but...
09:43That's your response.
09:44Have you seen Dexter?
09:45The ice cream truck.
09:47The ice cream truck killer.
09:49The ice truck killer.
09:50Yeah, it was the first season.
09:51How was it good?
09:51Oh, yeah.
09:52Such a good fucking show.
09:53Not me accusing me of murder
09:55on the first night night.
09:56That's awesome, but I appreciate it.
09:58Yeah.
09:58Carried your bags in.
10:00Proposed to you.
10:03Now I'm the ice truck killer.
10:07Should I call my mom?
10:08Call me.
10:12Hello.
10:13Mom, what's going on?
10:15How are you?
10:16Oh, my God.
10:19So I'm here with my fiancee, Ashley.
10:21I'm so excited for you to meet her.
10:23Hi.
10:23I'm excited to meet you.
10:24I've heard a lot about you.
10:26Oh, okay.
10:27All good things.
10:28All good things.
10:29Well, I'm excited to meet you, too.
10:32Welcome to the family, I guess.
10:34Crazy.
10:36We just got into our place in Columbus,
10:38and I'm excited for you two to meet, finally.
10:41Yes, that will be great.
10:43I am looking forward to that as well.
10:46Perfect.
10:47I'm on the road.
10:49Are you?
10:50Yeah, I'm in Phoenix right now, kiddo.
10:52So, um...
10:53Oh.
10:54Yeah.
10:54Nice.
10:55Sounds about right.
10:56Yeah.
10:56Ironically, we talked about, um...
10:58Both of us are looking to move out of Ohio
11:00within the next few months.
11:01Scottsdale-Phoenix area is one option,
11:03as well as Florida.
11:05So that's ironic you're down there already.
11:07Very nice.
11:08Well, I started a new job, so...
11:11Oh.
11:11I'll be all the room, but, um...
11:13Yeah, a lot's happened since we last moved on.
11:16On both ends.
11:18On both ends, it seems like.
11:19It's going to be to all of us.
11:19Yeah, exactly.
11:21I would love to come and meet Ashley.
11:24I'll just kind of need a heads up on when that would be
11:27so I can make sure I'll move it in.
11:30Yeah, yeah, yeah.
11:30We'll catch up on that.
11:31So exciting.
11:32Well, congratulations to both of you.
11:34Thank you so much.
11:35Love you, and we'll talk soon, yeah?
11:37So good to hear your voice.
11:39You too.
11:39Talk to you soon.
11:40Bye.
11:40See you later.
11:43Aw.
11:44Always good to hear from Mom.
11:45Always good to hear from Mom.
11:46It seems crazy.
11:47Like, she's just, like, on the road,
11:49and, like, I'm starting a new job.
11:50This is my life, right?
11:51Where it's like, oh, you started a new job.
11:52I had no idea.
11:52Didn't know if she was even applying, so.
11:54Or that she's in Arizona.
11:55Should have been, like, give us some tips, recommendations.
11:58I'm sure she'll have plenty on that.
11:59Check it out for us.
12:00She'll have plenty on that.
12:01Yeah.
12:01You want to have a seat?
12:03Sure.
12:05Can you sit in here?
12:05Yeah.
12:07So your mom, you have no idea what she's doing right now?
12:09No clue.
12:10Do you know what she was doing in Montana?
12:12She was driving big rigs up and down the mountain.
12:15Oh, my God.
12:16I think she was just getting her motorcycle out of storage from there
12:19and driving it down to where she's going next.
12:22Crazy.
12:22So that's how she works.
12:23That's the beauty of traveling around the world is, like, you pick and choose.
12:26Like, you get the perspective that you want.
12:28So I've lived in Florida.
12:29I've spent a lot of time in Arizona.
12:31I know that those are places I want to be in.
12:34And I also know the places I don't.
12:36Not Cleveland?
12:37Absolutely not.
12:39I was pretty clear on that, though.
12:40I know.
12:41All your stuff is in Florida?
12:42I mean, I don't have a ton.
12:44I mean, most of it's here.
12:45The rest of it is in a storage unit in Florida.
12:46Just being as flexible as possible.
12:48Yeah.
12:49And letting the chips fall where they may and go from there.
12:51You're just so calm.
12:52So I might need a little bit more from you.
12:54You want me to not be calm?
12:56No.
12:57No, I appreciate you being calm.
12:58Oh, okay.
12:59It's just like I'm a little more panicked.
13:01Sure.
13:01Obviously, I've lived this type of lifestyle before, so I do feel more comfortable in that.
13:05But I will give as much leeway as I can towards you on it.
13:09And I think we're right where we should be, taking it day by day and going from there.
13:13I do get nervous.
13:14Just the unknown.
13:15Fair.
13:15Yeah.
13:16That's very fair.
13:16I've had a very regimented, easy life.
13:19Yeah.
13:20Yeah.
13:21It's because my parents and we've just had this very easy, cushy life.
13:24And I'm always ready for adventure, but this is a different.
13:31This isn't like this is crazy.
13:33This is crazy.
13:34Right?
13:34This is exactly how I saw my life going.
13:37100%.
13:46Wait, where are you putting your dirty clothes?
13:48My dirty clothes?
13:49Yeah.
13:50Just keeping them in a pile right now.
13:51I'll just put them on top of the thing right up here.
13:55Organization.
13:56You know what I mean?
13:58Yes.
13:59You're giving me a look like I'm crazy.
14:01For being organized.
14:03Which I, again, I wasn't organized for a while, but got my shit together now.
14:07I know.
14:08I just feel like for me, I don't really get, like once I get motivated, I can be productive.
14:12And I'm just not motivated right now.
14:13Get motivated.
14:14Saying to get motivated doesn't motivate me.
14:17What motivates you?
14:19I think what's not motivating me right now is the fact that we don't have like a clothes hamper or
14:23anything.
14:24Just puts it aside.
14:25I know, but then it makes me just, it makes me feel crumply a little bit, but that's okay.
14:31Do you separate your colors when you do laundry?
14:34Yeah.
14:35Okay.
14:36Do you not?
14:37Do you not?
14:37No, I do.
14:38That's why I'm asking.
14:39Who doesn't separate their colors?
14:42Cereal colors?
14:44Yeah.
14:45I definitely separate my colors.
14:48I'm hungry.
14:50I am done.
14:51See, now I can go and enjoy a nice beer and relax.
14:57Crack open a cold one.
14:59It's a little weird.
15:00I've never lived with anyone besides obviously my family.
15:05Yeah.
15:06Are you worried about anything or are you excited?
15:09I've never lived with a woman before, so like your clutter and stuff.
15:14Yeah, but I, yeah.
15:16Like even like shoes here, socks here.
15:19I think we have our both our quirks.
15:21Yes.
15:21Wait, did you also?
15:22Of course.
15:23I'm sure I have, I have many quirks.
15:25No, no, okay.
15:25One thing I actually noticed in Cabo is you don't close any doors.
15:28Yeah, so the closet, the one closet, I mean there's only one.
15:32No, it was both of them, both sides.
15:35All right, we have our quirks.
15:36Well, yeah, those are my shirts.
15:37I mean those are my, whatever.
15:39Yeah, but you just close the door after you're done with it.
15:42Tomato, tomato, different quirks, different.
15:44We'll figure it out.
15:45So we'll figure it out.
15:46I'll make sure to close my doors.
15:47I'll make sure to try to pick up my shit.
15:49Compromise.
15:50Compromise, look at us already doing it.
15:53Of course.
15:59I'm so happy to be back in Columbus, so honestly.
16:02Like I, I actually am too.
16:03I went earlier to see Emma.
16:05It was amazing to see my daughter.
16:07It was such a great, um, reunite, reunitation?
16:12I don't even know.
16:13Ha, ha, reunion.
16:15So Emma immediately looked at my ring and she goes, what is that?
16:21She's like, who gave that to you?
16:22And I was like, well, a boy gave it to me.
16:24So her and I had like a really good long conversation.
16:27I was like, it's dependent.
16:28Like you have to meet daddy.
16:29You have to meet you.
16:30Everybody has to be like on board.
16:31And so she was like a lot more comfortable with that for sure.
16:37Oh, I'm glad that she had a good reaction to it.
16:39Like I'm allowed to be happy.
16:41I'm like allowed to actually like be with somebody.
16:44Yeah.
16:45Of course.
16:46And.
16:47Yeah, I would hope so.
16:48Yeah.
16:52Like, you know, I get it.
16:53You should be happy.
16:55Yeah.
16:56You deserve to be.
16:59Give me a hug.
17:14Three weeks till.
17:16We get married.
17:17We get married.
17:18You know that I don't want to be in like a failing marriage.
17:24And like I want this to work.
17:26And so when I get to the end of all this, like I want to feel extremely confident to say
17:31yes.
17:32And when I say yes, like it is till death do us part.
17:36So that is my hope and also my fear all at the same time.
17:41Oh, yeah.
17:42My family doesn't really believe in divorce.
17:46So I know things happen.
17:48But going into a marriage, the last thing I think of is divorce.
17:52I know.
17:53But you know my, you know my background.
17:55Yeah.
17:57We're both going to give it all we fucking got.
18:00Okay.
18:00Do you have to say fucking got?
18:02Sorry.
18:03I mean, that's how I feel.
18:05We're going to give it everything.
18:07Okay.
18:11I was so close to doing an accent.
18:13It's a fair shot sentence.
18:15But I didn't.
18:15We're trying to be serious.
18:16But I didn't.
18:16I didn't.
18:17That's why I didn't.
18:18I'm being serious.
18:19But I wanted to let you know that I held back.
18:22Thank you for holding back.
18:23When we were trying to have a serious conversation.
18:27No problem.
18:29Why'd you choose me?
18:32You were so, like, confident and goal-driven and strong.
18:37Even just seeing you keep trying the sandboarding because you wanted to get from the top to the bottom.
18:46It's very attractive for you to go after what you want.
18:50And I can see it in so many realms.
18:53How hard you work and how much your job values you motivates me so much.
19:01And for you to be so direct with me of what you want and what you need.
19:06I knew I, like, needed it, but I didn't know how much I needed it.
19:09I do know and believe that you are such a caring person.
19:12I know that for the ones that put the effort in for you.
19:16The ones that you care about.
19:17The ones you love.
19:18Your close friends.
19:18Your family.
19:20And with me.
19:22I can feel how caring you are.
19:24And, like, you'd do anything for the people that would do anything for you.
19:28And I can feel that from you.
19:31Yeah.
19:37Just a girl from Michigan.
19:41I got lucky with you.
19:44I got lucky with you.
19:45No.
19:48Why, because I'm just a normal dude from Ohio?
19:52People always say, like, when you know, you know.
19:55And, like, I was trying to, like, understand what that felt like.
19:58When you can close your eyes and, like, envision who's going to experience life with you.
20:03Like, I envisioned you.
20:05Our lives, like, fit so perfectly together.
20:07Of, like, I could see us going to Ann Arbor and, like, going to the football games.
20:11And, like, being at your family reunion.
20:13And, like, in Pennsylvania.
20:15And, like, going water skiing.
20:17And, like, I've dreamt about these moments.
20:20But, like, I'm so excited to, like, experience them with you.
20:26That makes you feel really nice.
20:28Because I have also envisioned these things.
20:30And now we're in a bedroom together.
20:33Which we envisioned.
20:35This is exactly what we envisioned.
20:36And being us.
20:37Yeah.
20:38Like, we're here.
20:39We're here.
20:39Try to take it slow, take it slow, take it slow, take it slow.
20:43That is hot, too.
20:45And you know you found the one.
20:48A little bit hotter.
20:50Our love comes back.
20:53You believe we're getting married in three weeks.
20:55Are you excited?
20:56I am excited.
20:58Legally bound.
20:59Yeah.
21:00It's not like you're my boyfriend.
21:02I'm bringing home.
21:03Right.
21:03Like, I'm bringing home a fiancé.
21:05Yeah.
21:05It's also been kind of good that it hasn't been extremely easy.
21:10And, like, we have had, like, emotional times.
21:13Like, I've seen a different side of you than the pods.
21:15You've seen a different side of me.
21:17I think my biggest hope is that this can actually work.
21:21I feel like it's already working.
21:23I do think love is blind.
21:27And I'm, like, super hopeful that this is, like, the real deal.
21:31I'm hopeful for that.
21:32And, you know, I don't have any fears with that.
21:34Because I know we both will speak our mind.
21:36And sometimes it might take me a little bit longer to get it out.
21:39Yeah.
21:40Like, ask me, like, 15 times.
21:42And I feel like we've been able to navigate it.
21:45Yeah.
21:45So far.
21:46Like, we've got good communication.
21:48Like, every time I've told you something, I feel like you've heard me.
21:51Yeah.
21:52Which I appreciate.
21:53Of course.
21:54And I appreciate your communication.
21:56I feel like we have a good foundation now.
21:58Yeah.
21:59And, you know, I trust you.
22:01And I feel, like, very safe with you.
22:03So...
22:03That's where I'll help you with your patience.
22:05Mm-hmm.
22:07You know, you're just very Christ-like.
22:08Mm-hmm.
22:09And that's something that I really value in a man.
22:13I love that.
22:16You are that.
22:18Well, let's get some sleep.
22:19Yep.
22:20First night together in our home.
22:22Mm-hmm.
22:40Hey, here we go.
22:43Today, we're doing house tours of Amber and I's homes.
22:47Don't mind the flooded plant.
22:48I was trying to grow cabbage.
22:50We live in Columbus and Mount Vernon.
22:53After you.
22:54Aw.
22:55So this is the living room.
22:56Good deal.
22:57I've got my Tales from the Crypt box set down here.
23:00Mm-hmm.
23:00Oh, shit.
23:01We'll have to bust these at some point.
23:03Kitchen.
23:04Okay.
23:05Did you like the banana?
23:06My God.
23:08I've got this broccoli that was in here from before we left.
23:10That's disgusting.
23:11And water.
23:12Bathroom.
23:13All right.
23:14Let's see how much I gained since Mexico.
23:17Oh, you should not look at that.
23:19Yeah.
23:20It's a better list.
23:22Well.
23:23It's not bad.
23:24It's not bad.
23:25Yeah.
23:25It's pretty comfortable.
23:26It's still attached to my bed.
23:28I understand.
23:29That's pretty nice.
23:30But it is pretty comfortable.
23:33Welcome to the man cave.
23:37Oh, darts.
23:39Yeah.
23:39We've got some darts going on.
23:41But you can't wait to hang out down here.
23:44I'll go next to the sword.
23:47Yeah, I like this one.
23:48Cute place.
23:50I maybe decorate a little bit differently.
23:52But I don't know if I can fit all my stuff in here.
23:54No, not in this place.
23:56Not in this place.
23:56Yeah.
23:57Once we get something else.
23:59I don't need a huge, amazing place.
24:01It doesn't have to be anything incredible.
24:04I'm the same way.
24:05I don't want to go, like, beyond our means to where then it's like, oh, fuck, I have a mortgage
24:09this month.
24:10I want to be able to use my money for fun stuff and not for...
24:14Constantly being stressed.
24:15Yeah, yeah, exactly.
24:16When people get so material obsessed, it drives me crazy.
24:19Yeah, I get that.
24:19Like, life is about so much more.
24:21I get that.
24:21Like, you know, the experience we just had, it was really amazing and something money couldn't buy at all.
24:29Mm-hmm.
24:30And it didn't.
24:31Having that, like, first impression or anything like that, that's something, you know, no amount of, like, couldn't take me
24:38to a resort or the nicest place on the planet.
24:40And I still wouldn't feel as, like, happy as I did in that moment, so...
24:42No.
24:43That's sweet.
24:48That makes me feel good.
24:49Absolutely.
24:49I agree with you.
24:50What do you think about the neighborhood?
24:52And we'd have to see because it would obviously mean if we had Emma throughout her days, we'd have to
24:57figure out, like...
24:58Schools and stuff.
24:58Yeah, but I really like her school, so...
25:01Yeah.
25:02Definitely will be a huge thing that we have to look at.
25:04I know we've talked about it before.
25:05If we kept the house in Mount Vernon, just because I bought it for so cheap, we could potentially, like,
25:11rent it out.
25:11You could always come into Mount Vernon for a couple months.
25:13Just get sucked into Mount Vernon for the rest of your life.
25:17I need a little variety with the floors.
25:20What if you don't?
25:21What if you just, like, get there and you find your people?
25:23I did see there was a place that has pierogies up there.
25:25Could be dangerous.
25:26Yeah.
25:27You know, I already, uh, just weighed myself upstairs.
25:29I don't need any pierogies.
25:36Yay!
25:37Excited to show you.
25:38My house is an hour away in Mount Vernon.
25:41I'm hoping he likes it to maybe keep it in the consideration of potentially staying here for a little bit.
25:46I'll kind of show you everything I redid.
25:48I like the black.
25:49Yeah, I redid that whole, like, door and this porch around here.
25:51Oh, yeah, it looks amazing.
25:52I bought this house.
25:54It was an older home.
25:55I had to redo it room by room.
25:56I've been working on it for seven years.
25:58You redo all over on the windows, too?
26:00Yes.
26:00And he wants to be really close to Columbus, but I think, you know, financially, it would probably be a
26:05better idea if I, you know, we stayed here, saved some money.
26:09So this is it.
26:10Oh, very nice.
26:12It would also make my life a lot easier.
26:14Emma's school is here.
26:16So, I mean, if he wants to take her to school from Columbus every day, if he wants to live
26:19there, that's fine.
26:21Oh, is this the dollhouse?
26:22This is the dollhouse.
26:24Oh, wow.
26:24That I built Emma for Christmas.
26:27That's amazing.
26:28So this was, like, the fireplace before.
26:30Oh, this looks so much better.
26:32Yeah.
26:32This was a staircase before.
26:34Oh, I love the new banisters on there.
26:38You did a lot in here.
26:39It looks awesome.
26:41All the Teddy Grahams and...
26:43Oh, man, the chocolate ones are so addicting.
26:45I can't control myself.
26:47Have you ever tried these little new bites?
26:49Yeah, sure have.
26:50You sure have?
26:51Those are awesome.
26:51I had never had any of this until I had a child.
26:54Yeah, those are off-limits for me as well.
26:56She will be so mad if you get her new bites.
26:58I will do it.
26:59I'll buy my own and bring them.
27:00How about that?
27:01Then she'll eat yours.
27:03Oh.
27:03You guys are going to be in a fight.
27:05So, this is Emma's little room.
27:08Oh, there's a little sloth.
27:09Yeah, so she decorated everything.
27:11And this is my room.
27:12Very nice.
27:14Pretty.
27:15Oh, it is pretty nice.
27:17It's pretty comfortable.
27:18Yeah.
27:19Oh, God.
27:20I thought you were coming at me.
27:21Yeah, you put a ton of work into this spot.
27:24Even if it was just for, like, a little bit, this isn't, like, too far.
27:28I would like to be a little bit closer to the city personally, like, have more things to do.
27:32Yeah.
27:32For long term, I would like to get something that's new for both of us, so it feels like both
27:37of our spot, you know?
27:38I actually bought this as, like, a cheap, like, only thing Emma and I could afford at the time, after
27:44I first had her, before I got my big girl job and everything.
27:48So, it was actually supposed to be very, very temporary.
27:50Mm-hmm.
27:50As much as I love my drive-thru guy, I didn't really want to, like, retire here.
27:57Yeah.
27:57Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance.
28:01Oh, bright red sky, colors that will never die.
28:07Oh, my God, think this could be heaven.
28:10Hi, Mama.
28:12That's so pretty.
28:15This is Vic.
28:16Hello.
28:17It's a pleasure to be here.
28:18Vic, this is Melody.
28:21Oh, my goodness.
28:23It's good to meet you.
28:24I'm really excited for Vic to meet my mom.
28:26I'm excited to see her reaction because she knows how excited I am about this.
28:32You guys are, like, going to get married.
28:34I mean, how do you feel about that?
28:36I'm excited.
28:37You ready?
28:38I'm very excited, very secure.
28:40I feel very sure in the decision.
28:42Um, and I'm letting God take the lead.
28:46I find it strange that someone like you with your education would do this.
28:52How are you single?
28:52Not that I think you have to be dumb to do this, but at first, I mean, you know, she
28:59doesn't
29:00fit the mold that I gathered from when I watched the show.
29:03I didn't see her that way at all.
29:04I'm thinking, how is she going to fit in here?
29:08Who put you, somebody put you guys together, or did it just happen?
29:11It just happened.
29:12Because you were in the group?
29:14I didn't want to come in hot, like, do you believe in God and do this and this and this?
29:18Like, what are, what do you do for a living?
29:20You know, I didn't want to, like, hit the heavy things right away, and before I even
29:23had a chance to bring it up with him, he brought that up with me.
29:29Your voice drew me in.
29:30I don't know how to explain it, because I've been trying to figure out how to explain it
29:33this whole time, how you can feel attraction between a wall.
29:37She knows things about me that no one else knows about me at this point, which is mind-blowing,
29:42and she still accepts me for who I am.
29:44No.
29:44Right?
29:45Because you were honest.
29:46It's like the show, the means that God used to put you guys together, because how else
29:53would you have met?
29:54It sounds corny, but that's what I'm...
29:56No, I feel the same way.
29:58What did you think when you saw each other for the first time?
30:01I think it was, like, a bonus in a lot of ways.
30:04Yeah.
30:04I remember before those doors even opened up, I'm like, whoever walks through those
30:07doors, like, I love her, right?
30:09I love Christine for who she is.
30:11That would be a scary moment.
30:12It was.
30:13There was some nerves in there, I'm not gonna lie, but, I mean, her heart is so big, and
30:18I know she gets that from you in a lot of ways, too, so I was just happy to know
30:22that I'd
30:22be able to meet you.
30:23The way she even talked about you, I'm like, yeah, this is a woman with a big heart.
30:28She gets it from somewhere, and I need to meet this woman one day and just see where
30:33it comes from, you know?
30:34So you didn't get the whole story, you didn't get the crazy part.
30:38Look, everybody has some crazy, you know?
30:40I was crazy, you'll see.
30:42Oh, yeah, he knows all the bad stuff.
30:43We have not been a whole... have a whole lot to be proud of.
30:47Our families, we've had some major issues in our family.
30:51Yeah.
30:51She's not had a real good dad in her life.
30:55Mm-hmm.
30:56We've talked about that a little bit.
30:57He was a jerk.
30:58I mean, he really was a jerk, and forgive me for saying that, but it's true.
31:02Yet he's still your dad.
31:03Right.
31:04He loves you.
31:05That's kind of what I told him, too, and I was like, I know he loves me, and I have
31:10empathy and sympathy for him, but not as, like, a close dad, but as just a human.
31:16Yeah.
31:17And you, I don't know about your situation.
31:20So my father isn't in my life, but there isn't any, like, resentment or anything there
31:26for it.
31:27Maybe when I was younger and into my 20s, I felt like that, but as of now, it's just
31:32more like I forgave him.
31:34When we're in the pods and Christine and I were talking about her father, I think one
31:38of the things we landed on was, like, that aspect of forgiveness at some point.
31:42Yeah.
31:42And what that might look like while he's still around.
32:15Yeah.
32:16And I think she's willing to settle for any less than what her standards are.
32:22And, oh, I'm so glad she came along.
32:24Yeah.
32:25It relieves me a lot to know that there's somebody that is going to care about you as much as
32:32I do.
32:32Yeah.
32:33And what about kids?
32:34When am I going to have a grandbaby?
32:37You guys both want children, right?
32:40Yeah.
32:40Yeah, yeah, yeah.
32:41Once we buy a house and kind of get settled, then we'll have more of a conversation.
32:45So it'll be a little while.
32:47Yeah.
32:49I don't know.
32:49I'm happy for you guys.
32:51I'm happy for both of you.
32:53I'm just excited.
32:54I mean, you know, you're the most important person in my life.
32:58And now you're the most important person in my life.
33:01Yeah.
33:03I'm just really happy you guys get to meet.
33:05Yeah.
33:06If we said a quick prayer together.
33:08Yeah.
33:08If you'd be open to that.
33:09I would love to do that.
33:11So, Father God, thank you for bringing us here together in this moment of love, allowing
33:15us to just meet and talk and connect and grow closer together and closer to you.
33:19And we ask that you just protect us, you guide us, you lead us closer to you, closer
33:24to each other in this moment, but forever.
33:26In your name we pray.
33:27Amen.
33:28Vic is very gentle.
33:30I like that about him.
33:32He seems very self-assured, confident, and I thought he was hot.
33:37Can I say that?
33:40That was beautiful.
33:42Man, this is awesome.
33:44There's still a disbelief that she could find someone so perfect for her.
33:51We're a family.
33:53We're going to be a family.
33:54We are.
33:55More and all.
33:56I got to have another hug.
34:27Yes, of course.
34:27Still celebrating Christmas.
34:28Who isn't in the Christmas spirit?
34:30Okay, Connor.
34:30Sharing my home with three.
34:32I feel a little nervous.
34:33It's cool to own the home.
34:34It's mine.
34:35I bought it two years ago.
34:37But it does show you maybe who I was before this.
34:40I might move in here for a period of time.
34:43We'll see where our forever home is.
34:44So, yeah, there's definitely a sense of pressure for it, but...
34:51Okay, Connor.
34:52I know.
34:54Kitchen.
34:55Wait, you want to show me inside the fridge?
34:57You're, like, willing to do this.
34:59Oh, God.
34:59Okay, this is a boyfriend.
35:03But he does the dishes.
35:04I do the dishes.
35:05He does the dishes.
35:06That's never an issue.
35:07That's never the question.
35:08Okay.
35:09You see creatine?
35:10Just...
35:11For the smoothies.
35:12And more plants.
35:14He's a big plant guy.
35:15Yep.
35:16This is surprising about you.
35:17I like plants.
35:23The Christmas tree.
35:25Connor.
35:26Told you I procrastinate with some things.
35:28Connor.
35:28I wanted to take it down with somebody.
35:30And you said, let's just keep it.
35:31Why not?
35:32No, with some.
35:32Why not just keep it up until next year?
35:34With you.
35:34Or this year?
35:35I wanted to take it down with you.
35:36I'm dying.
35:37Of course.
35:38The house is your oyster.
35:39This is literally...
35:40It's an open canvas for you.
35:42Is it?
35:43You're a frat boy.
35:44You know that, right?
35:45I'm not a frat boy.
35:46Yes, you are.
35:47I love...
35:49Oh, now what?
35:51So, the bathroom.
35:52Oh, okay.
35:53Connor's is nice.
35:56The seat is up.
35:57It was not me.
35:59He says he puts it down.
36:00I do.
36:01Huh.
36:03Okay.
36:04Here's the guest bedroom.
36:06See, if I walked in and this was your bed with no headboard, I would be, like, straight
36:09to jail.
36:10You'd break out with me?
36:11Yep.
36:11There better be a headboard than the other one.
36:13Well, we'll see.
36:14Do you love me or not?
36:15Connor.
36:16Does it really matter?
36:17Is love truly blind?
36:18Does it really matter?
36:20We're blind?
36:21This is the big reveal.
36:23Here it is.
36:25Okay.
36:25He does have a headboard.
36:30A paper from 2022.
36:33It's a poem I wrote for the cabin.
36:36We just crumpled up.
36:38We throw it away.
36:38We move on.
36:39You wrote all this?
36:40Yeah.
36:41He's a poet.
36:42So your vows are going to be unbelievable.
36:44I've already written our vows.
36:46Should we read your vows tonight?
36:48God, no.
36:49I only want to read my vows at our wedding.
36:51Are you going to do game room or?
36:53Absolutely.
36:53Yeah.
36:54Oh, my gosh.
36:58This is it.
37:00So then I...
37:01This is the spot.
37:03See me at my happiest.
37:07I'm just dying.
37:09So this is actually where you work, and this is where we game.
37:13Correct.
37:13So the gaming station is actually more enhanced than the work you station.
37:17So I pay for this.
37:18They pay for that.
37:19This is like nothing I've ever seen before.
37:22We all have our things, don't we?
37:24We all got our things.
37:24This is yours.
37:25It's my little thing.
37:27Also, Connor, am I looking at a keg?
37:29We'll talk about that in a second.
37:30There is a keg outside.
37:31Yeah, there's a fucking keg.
37:33This is a frat house.
37:37Those are fake.
37:38Don't worry.
37:38Dead?
37:39I can't wait for you to see my place.
37:42You're going to be like, we are not the same.
37:48The door is closed?
37:50No, the way you're standing so, like, proud.
37:53Wow.
37:54The man cave.
37:56Oh, my gosh.
37:57It's a work in progress.
37:59Put the darts in the corner, maybe a pool table, a foosball table, and just...
38:03Literally a man cave.
38:05Literally a man cave.
38:06You would rather have a man cave than park your car in the garage.
38:10Okay.
38:11Casa de Conner.
38:13If I was 21 years old walking into a guy's house, but he's 32.
38:19Are you just cooking me for this?
38:20Yeah.
38:25That's the only thing that locks the door?
38:27That?
38:28It's a nice door, right?
38:29That is going to make me feel safe.
38:30I didn't know this was a broken end.
38:31This is like going into someone's back gate in their backyard.
38:35From the outside, you cannot get in.
38:37I would like to try that.
38:42I want to see how sturdy this is.
38:45Oh, my gosh.
38:48Oh, my gosh.
38:50Oh, my God.
38:52Oh, my God.
38:53I know you're going to push that hard.
38:54Oh, shit.
38:56Oh, my God.
38:57That thing's never come out like that.
39:00Oh, my God.
39:02Connor, I just did that with, like, minimal force.
39:05I'm not safe here.
39:06He's not safe here.
39:08We're moving to Columbus.
39:09You heard it, folks.
39:10Oh, my God.
39:11We got to go.
39:11Holy shit.
39:12Before you destroy the rest of my place.
39:15Okay, you're all right.
39:17We'll be just fine.
39:21You nervous?
39:22No, not at all.
39:23Should I be?
39:23I don't know.
39:25We'll see.
39:26I'm excited to see them.
39:27Yeah?
39:27This is the longest I've ever been without them.
39:30Should be good.
39:31I know.
39:32Tonight, Alex is meeting my family.
39:34I'm a little nervous.
39:35What are you drinking?
39:36I think I might do it old-fashioned.
39:37I think that's what my dad will drink.
39:39My dad is the protector.
39:40He's the provider.
39:41He will do what it takes to, you know, fight for his family.
39:44Oh, that's them.
39:45Hi.
39:46I'm his little girl, and he wants to make sure that I get the best treatment
39:50and the best marriage, and he thinks I deserve the world, and he's right.
39:57Oh, my God.
39:58I love you so much.
39:59How you doing?
40:00I'm Alex.
40:01Oh, my God.
40:02Nice to meet you.
40:03Nice to meet you.
40:04Thank you so much.
40:05I want to cry.
40:06I'm Pete.
40:06Nice to meet you.
40:07Hey, Alex.
40:07How you doing?
40:08I'm Paul.
40:08Nice to meet you, Paul.
40:09Good to meet you.
40:10Our pleasure.
40:10Thank you so much.
40:11So nice to meet you guys.
40:12You get the head of the table.
40:14Ashley gets to dictate everything.
40:17I learned quick.
40:17I learned quick.
40:19Yeah, we all break to an event.
40:21That's how it goes, right?
40:21She's so strong.
40:22Her will is so strong.
40:23So let me ask you this, Alex.
40:26Oh, lay it on me.
40:26What do we got?
40:26Okay, all right.
40:27What do we got?
40:28What have you learned about Ashley?
40:30A ton.
40:31A ton.
40:31Two times.
40:32So one of the things that I fell for with her in the pods was her relationship with her family.
40:37You have passed along the ability to make good decisions down to your kids, and that's kind
40:42of one of the things that she definitely kind of hammered in, that she's very independent,
40:47very strong, and very confident in herself, but at the same time able to bring that to
40:52a relationship and is ready to be in one of those.
40:54I thought about you guys in the pods so much, and that's kind of what I searched for in him.
41:00So I found myself just wanting to talk to him more.
41:03He became my best friend.
41:04I remember standing outside of the pods thinking, like, I hope that's Alex.
41:08He just had everything I was looking for.
41:11Beefcake.
41:12Didn't know.
41:13Love is blind.
41:15Cornerback.
41:15Soccer player.
41:17Yes.
41:17But no, I just learned more about him.
41:20He's so adventurous.
41:21That's something I want more of in my life.
41:23I haven't traveled a lot, and that was really appealing to me.
41:26I would talk to him about you.
41:27You are the protector, the provider.
41:30I'm going to cry.
41:35I don't know.
41:35He felt like home.
41:37So.
41:38Home, not at home.
41:39Yeah.
41:41That's what you want.
41:41Good for you, sweetie.
41:42That's what I found.
41:47So, um, what did you study?
41:49I was a communications major, and then I went to finance right afterwards.
41:52You studied finance or went into the field of finance?
41:55I went into the field of finance right after.
41:56So I was actually a soccer player.
41:58That's what I was planning on doing right after college, and four knee surgeries kind of took
42:01that away before I was able to do much with it.
42:03So I pivoted into financial advisory.
42:07COVID hit, so I took the severance package that came from that and traveled the world.
42:11Um, so I've kind of been all over for the past couple of years.
42:15Working at the time, or just traveling?
42:18Traveling for most of it.
42:19Take me through the last five years, where you've lived.
42:23Chicago to Tampa.
42:24Tampa to San Diego.
42:26San Diego to Phoenix.
42:27I've lived in New Zealand.
42:29I am Kiwi, so I'm a dual citizen with New Zealand.
42:31And I lived in Australia for a year where I worked three different jobs all over the country.
42:36I was a commercial fisherman for probably four or five months up in the Northern Territory.
42:40I ran a gym in Bondi Beach, right outside of Sydney.
42:44And then I was also a casino worker in Melbourne for a little while.
42:47Did you meet Crocodile Dundee?
42:49I acted like one, to be honest with you.
42:51Catching fish and throwing them off the side of the boat, and you see crocodiles and sharks
42:55coming up.
42:56It was pretty crazy.
42:57I did meet my father at 25 in Hong Kong.
43:00How did that occur?
43:02He left kind of before I was born.
43:04Started a second family in Australia.
43:06Ended up in Hong Kong.
43:07Married his translator.
43:08Started a third family there.
43:10Were he and your mom married?
43:12No, they never were.
43:13I was an accident, to be completely honest.
43:16There was a question as to whether or not my mom was going to keep me, because my grandparents
43:20were more traditional in that sense.
43:22She made the decision to keep me, and I became the golden grandchild.
43:25My grandparents, as I've kind of told her in the pods, were my father figure.
43:29But I called my stepfather my father.
43:31How old were you when your mom remarried?
43:33I was two, I believe, at that time.
43:34So your stepfather has been your dad for most of your life?
43:38Yeah.
43:39They've divorced.
43:40He was not the greatest person.
43:42How so?
43:42Physically abusive, for sure.
43:44I did get beaten a decent amount growing up, and didn't kind of have that love from him.
43:49My grandparents definitely stepped in and were the ones that kind of showed me exactly what
43:53that type of love was.
43:55And the way I kind of say it and how I said it in the pods was, I feel as
43:59though I learned
43:59how to be a phenomenal husband and a phenomenal father by learning the inverse of that.
44:03Who's your male role model?
44:04Your grandfather?
44:05Absolutely.
44:06So he would pull down an atlas, a big atlas of the world, obviously.
44:11And he worked in structured lending.
44:14And then he would fly across the world to places like Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan.
44:17Hotspots?
44:18Exactly.
44:19And go try and set those up.
44:20How old did your grandfather live to be?
44:22Uh, 67.
44:24Oh, my.
44:25Yeah.
44:25My grandmother passed early as well.
44:27How long were they married?
44:2850 plus years.
44:29I believe it was probably 53, realistically.
44:32But the story that my aunt...
44:32It could have been that long.
44:33It was.
44:34It was.
44:34It was 60-what when he died?
44:36No, no, no.
44:3667.
44:37I was told a 50-year marriage from my aunt before this.
44:39I don't know the specific one.
44:41Exactly.
44:42That's what I was told.
44:43He was hitting on my grandmother in Pomona, California.
44:47She was a waitress.
44:48He was working business at the time.
44:49And he basically said, hey, can I get your number?
44:51And she gave it to him.
44:52And when he called, she actually thought it was somebody else.
44:54And she fell in love with his voice over the phone.
44:58Oh, okay.
44:58Like your story.
44:59Exactly.
45:00Are you making that up?
45:01No.
45:02Look at me right here.
45:02Are you making that up?
45:03I got a text message from my aunt.
45:05You looked down and left.
45:06I looked down and right.
45:07Which I don't know what that means.
45:08You looked that way.
45:09I looked at the steak.
45:10No, you looked that way.
45:10Did I?
45:11All right, maybe not.
45:12That's what my aunt told me, to be honest with you.
45:14So what makes you think you can settle down?
45:16You're tired of moving?
45:18Different chicks?
45:18Absolutely.
45:18I'm tired of figuring out a different grocery store and a different gym and different friends
45:21throughout every city.
45:22Different chicks?
45:24I won't lie.
45:25Absolutely.
45:26Okay.
45:26You know.
45:27I'll kill them.
45:29Absolutely.
45:31So you're still in the finance field?
45:32I'm not.
45:33I do day trading on the side a little bit.
45:35What do you day trade?
45:36The Australian dollar over the U.S. dollar.
45:38How many trades do you make a week?
45:39Five good ones a day.
45:41You use a broker or do you do it yourself?
45:42I do it myself.
45:43Do you have any licenses right now?
45:45So they've expired on my end because I wasn't sure I was going to go back into finance.
45:48I want to get into crypto as well.
45:49What's the price of Bitcoin today?
45:51About 100 grand.
45:52I don't know at the moment.
45:53You trade no other currency?
45:55Not at the moment, no.
45:56Do you vote for Trump?
45:58I didn't vote.
45:59But I would have voted for Trump.
46:00You cop out.
46:01Well, I wasn't here.
46:02I know it's a cop out.
46:03I'm absolutely conservative, though, without a doubt.
46:06Without a doubt.
46:06And I'm happy that he won.
46:07I'm actually really sorry about him.
46:09I'm sorry.
46:10You're good.
46:10You're good.
46:11I was a lawyer, obviously.
46:12I could take the heat.
46:13I'll give it back.
46:14I may like to you.
46:15Just to see.
46:16Fair enough.
46:16I always find the answer.
46:17I bet you do.
46:18I'm a professional question asker.
46:20And I will tell you this.
46:21Ashley, she's fucking just like me.
46:25I can see some similarities, without a doubt.
46:27You're studying me, without a doubt.
46:29And that's okay.
46:29You should be.
46:30I've studied every bit of you.
46:31I believe it.
46:32You're like me, though.
46:33You'll play the fool a little bit to see what the other person is, and then you're going
46:36to come through.
46:37So you admit you are playing the fool.
46:38Am I?
46:39You said you were.
46:41Am I?
46:41Yes.
46:42I might be.
46:43But I think you're a lot smarter than you're letting on to.
46:45I'm not that smart.
46:46I don't believe that for a second.
46:48You know, when you have a family, you're going to say, bye-bye, Alex.
46:53What do you bring to the table as a father?
46:55What I've been told is what happens is, as soon as that baby shows up in your arms, you
47:00will sacrifice your life for that baby.
47:03I'm drawing from a desire to rewrite my own childhood, in the sense of, I get to now be
47:09that person that they're looking up to.
47:11That's maybe a little selfish, but I'm honest with it.
47:14I've been tested outside of the parenthood.
47:16Soccer was a big thing for me.
47:17I was supposed to not ever make it, and I changed everything about myself.
47:21I became somebody that was the first person in the locker room, the last to leave, and
47:25that's not a cliche when I say it, because it's true.
47:27I became a walk-on that turned into a first-team All-American, a captain of that team, and
47:31was the first goalkeeper drafted, even though I had four knee surgeries.
47:34To lose that in a very crucial part of my life took away my career, took away what I would
47:39have made.
47:39It was my therapy, realistically.
47:41So when that was gone, I had to reinvent myself completely, and that's not easy to do.
47:45And I think that will translate to other parts of my life as well.
47:48What do you want to do?
47:49I want to day trade full-time.
47:52I love coaching soccer.
47:53I've got kind of jobs set up in Florida, Southwest Florida, and then I can also...
47:58A career job or more day trading?
48:00A career job.
48:01Day trading is also taking care of itself at the moment, but I can go back into finance
48:05if I need to.
48:06There's another external wholesaling position down in Southwest Florida as well that I'm
48:10currently involved in or interviewing for as well.
48:13I do have a financial position in Arizona.
48:16That's something I can get back into if I need to.
48:17I can either get another apartment here for a month to month.
48:20We've been talking about kind of moving to warmer weather at some point, depending on
48:24the kind of things that go on with your career at the moment.
48:26What do you bring to the table?
48:29I just cry.
48:32Here's the best advice I can give you.
48:34I did divorce work for 41 years, and I've told almost all of my clients the exact same
48:40thing.
48:40Never, ever call them a name they'll remember the rest of their lives.
48:47It's that simple.
48:48You know, there's going to be good times, there's going to be bad times, but always be there
48:53for each other.
48:54Never let the sun set on your anger, man.
48:57Yeah.
48:57If you have a disagreement during the day, make sure you clear it up before the night.
49:00And always, when you're making a decision, put the other person first.
49:08I like that.
49:08Is that something that you can do?
49:10I think I can definitely do that, and it's obviously panned out for the both of you.
49:15Well, I always put myself first.
49:18He doesn't follow his own advice.
49:19Don't do it.
49:19Don't follow your own advice.
49:21Do it as I say, not as I do.
49:22These rules are for thee, not for me, kind of guy.
49:24It sounds like COVID.
49:25Yeah, this guy's playing.
49:28He's playing the game.
49:28I get it.
49:29You're flashy.
49:30Sure.
49:31You're very polished.
49:32I'll give you that.
49:34But the rest of it, I don't know.
49:37So, convince me that you're real.
49:43I'm absolutely in love with your daughter.
49:45That's not it.
49:46No?
49:46No.
49:48That's more like words.
49:49I can't say it in words right now, but I can show you through actions moving forward.
49:53So, allow me to show you.
49:55I'm the patriarch of this family.
49:57Without a doubt.
49:58And I know that.
50:00I think everyone here absolutely knows that.
50:02They do.
50:02No question.
50:03Earning my trust is not easy.
50:04I'm not asking for your trust at the moment.
50:06I trust myself 100%.
50:07You are asking for my trust.
50:08I am asking for you.
50:09But you know it's not coming very easily.
50:11No, no, no, no.
50:11I'm asking for you to give me...
50:13An opportunity?
50:13Exactly.
50:14I'm not asking for your trust right now because I know in two hours I can't have it.
50:17From all three of you.
50:19I drilled down on Alex a little bit.
50:22He's impressive.
50:23Smart.
50:24I think he answered the questions that I asked him very well.
50:28Almost too well.
50:30Honesty is written all over your body.
50:32I'm not saying he is a bad person, but I don't think honesty is his strength.
50:42You guys have been so fun tonight, man.
50:44I want you guys to enjoy your journey, man.
50:47Whether it works or not, I really, really have enjoyed you two tonight.
50:52It's so great to see you again, honey.
50:54My lord, I miss you so much.
50:56Thanks, sir.
50:58My pressure is all for the protection of my little girl.
51:02Everybody is attracted to her.
51:06She is dynamite.
51:10And anybody that gets Ashley will be the luckiest human on the world.
51:16And if she says, this is what I want, Daddy Dum Dum's good with it.
51:23I do want to qualify that she has a bad picker.
51:27In the past.
51:29This is to you two.
51:30Cheers.
51:30To enjoying your journey.
51:31Absolutely.
51:32And the rest of it.
51:34Oh, and congratulations on being engaged.
51:41Don't you know we're living in the good old days?
51:47So hold them tight, say what you need to say?
51:52Don't you know we're living in the good old days?
51:59What doing?
52:01What?
52:02What doing?
52:03What doing?
52:04Putting lotion on.
52:05Is that okay?
52:06I guess so.
52:09Oh, there you go.
52:10He's a buzzer.
52:14I think he likes you.
52:18Just happy to be here.
52:19He was excited to see you.
52:23How are you feeling?
52:26About the weddings?
52:27Yeah.
52:28I feel like there's still a lot of questions that need answering before I can comfortably say like yes.
52:34Yeah.
52:34At the altar.
52:36Some of these answers aren't going to be answered within three weeks.
52:40Your promotion will be answered in three weeks, correct?
52:44Yeah.
52:45If you don't get the promotion, then you're kind of looking for another job.
52:49Yeah.
52:50Now let me ask you a question.
52:51Just because you're looking for another job, does that mean you're going to stay in Columbus and look for another
52:57job?
52:57I mean, I'm open.
52:58Like, I think if we're solid, I will do whatever it takes and, like, make the choices to, like, be
53:05with you.
53:07Okay.
53:07If we're solid, what does that entail?
53:10I think we're solid right now.
53:12Like.
53:12Okay.
53:13Like, I, I hope it's you at the altar.
53:16Like, I hope we make it.
53:17It's not going to be anybody else.
53:18I sure hope not.
53:20I don't think they do that.
53:21I sure hope not.
53:22You never know.
53:23No.
53:23But, like, I wanted to be you and I wanted to work out between us.
53:32No matter what, I would make decisions based off of our relationship.
53:37Okay.
53:39I know this is a big one that we talked about.
53:41Yeah.
53:42Kids.
53:43Yeah.
53:44We got our phones back.
53:45I opened up my phone.
53:47First thing I see, my best friend, he's having a kid.
53:50Mm-hmm.
53:51And they just got married six months ago.
53:52My other best friend, he's having a kid.
53:55And I tried to think about it, maybe, of not having kids.
53:57Yeah.
53:58But I just want kids.
53:59Like, I just want to know that it is a part of my future.
54:02Yeah.
54:04I want to have a family.
54:10I mean this in the nicest way possible.
54:13If we get married because you are like, yeah, no, I can see a family with you.
54:19I am open to kids.
54:20Yeah.
54:21And then something down the road changes, or we have a kid, and you resent that, and you resent your
54:27child, you resent me for what happened.
54:30I could never live with that.
54:33I don't want to waste any more time.
54:38I feel like I'm playing with my mind.
54:43Only one.
54:47I'm part of the way you say goodnight.
54:55And I don't want to waste any more time.
55:05I'm sick of all your games.
55:10And I don't want to waste any more time.
55:12And I don't want to play anymore.
55:14So you can just stand and wait.
