00:00There's one part of the book where you talk about The Bachelor.
00:03Yes.
00:03And you're very into The Bachelor.
00:05That is a big understatement.
00:08Is anyone here watching The Bachelorette right now?
00:11If you're not clapping, you're lying.
00:13Everyone is watching.
00:14What's Jojo going to do?
00:16Do you watch?
00:16You're watching.
00:17I kind of, I don't really watch it, but it's because I watch so much TV that I feel like
00:22I'd become a full hermit if I watched.
00:24It is a lot of hours of the day.
00:26Yes.
00:27And sadly, I wish I could pretend, yeah, I watch a lot of quality TV and The Bachelor, but it's
00:32really just The Bachelor that I watch mainly on TV.
00:36That and your show.
00:37Oh, thank you.
00:38So you were talking about how, you were saying if a bunch of comedy girls did The Bachelor.
00:46Yeah.
00:47So I do love The Bachelor, and it snuck up on me because, like, many people might have this feeling.
00:55I used to be, like, the person who's like, ooh, that's, like, such a dumb show for dummies, for dum
00:59-dum-dummies.
01:01And then I watched it, and I was like, oh, this is the happiest I think I've ever been.
01:06And I watched the Juan Pablo season, and that was what got me hooked in, if anyone's familiar with that
01:12creepazoid.
01:13But anyway, I started watching it, and I was like, I feel like I would be amazing on this show.
01:22Like, because no one's ever funny on it, ever.
01:26And then I was like, what if there was just, like, a version of The Bachelor one season where instead
01:30of the women all being, like, same kind of woman that it always is, which is poodles.
01:34If there was a season of The Bachelor where all, like, The Bachelor is just a regular bachelor, like, the
01:40usual guy, like, just, like, a dumb-dummy hot guy.
01:43But then he is surprised to find that every bachelorette is just, like, a Jewish girl who went to a
01:48liberal arts college.
01:50And we're all, like, we all arrive in, like, you know, like a Volvo, and we get out of the
01:55car in, like, our clogs, and we're like, this is nuts, right?
01:59I'm so nervous.
02:02Yeah, I feel like that would be a genuinely good show.
02:06Let's do the show.
02:07And I feel like by the end of it, you wouldn't even care about The Bachelor.
02:11Everyone would just be, like, supporting each other and being like, he's garbage.
02:15Yeah, no, he's a full garbage bag.
02:17Should we just, like, make a frittata and, like, hang for a while?
02:21Yeah, it would be the best.
02:22We'd be so much more concerned that, like, the snacks were around.
02:26Yeah, should we do, like, a Costco run?
02:29We did one yesterday.
02:30We should do another one right now.
02:32We should do another one right now.
02:32We should do another one right now.
02:32We should do another one right now.
