blessings. New Year's, New Year's, New Year's, New Year's Day. Should Auld Thanks for listening to Rosebuddies. It's a podcast where we talk about The Bachelor and it's about to's a podcast where we talk about The Bachelor, and it's about to be a podcast where we talk about The Bachelor

and not Japanese reality shows or... I've been thinking we should... Well, we should standardize our intro, maybe. Because I feel like all the... Okay, you're right. Sing Auld Lang Syne every time. No matter what, we are singing Auld Lang Syne. All the professional podcasts have a very sharp introduction.

And you're saying we don't have one of those. Well, I think we should focus on the reality love show. Okay, but a love show does sound like when you're on Bourbon Street and you see signs for love acts, and you think, I would love to see two people, two youngsters, like fresh in love, give it a hug. Reality dating, reality dating competition or reality dating programming terry's house was some competition programming i could get behind

okay a love cast i just i i don't want to hem us in too much yeah you're right a a podcast about love tv or bachelor and bachelor inspired products i don't think terry's house was inspired by bachelor that's true unless house was inspired by bachelor unless it was inspired as such hey let's not do anything that they do on this this wild wet and wild american television show yeah um we are this is our last episode of the year and i just can't get the audio levels right and i'm really sorry about that how's that that seems like that seems that seems like it might be better um we are gonna talk about all of the lovely ladies that are gonna be vying for the heart of mr nicholas vial nicholas sherman vial the third i asked griffin i said surely we don't want to speak

about all 30 women and he said oh, oh, yes, we do. And we should try and limit it to two minutes per woman. And some of these women aren't even going to need the two minutes. I'm Jamie, and I'm a... There actually is a Jamie. Oh, shit. I'm a Jamie, and I'm a legal person. I say that, and I'm like, okay, so what? You go through files all day what's your favorite movie my

favorite movie is the notebook okay next that was like what 20 seconds for okay for fictional okay that seems doable um but i think yeah we just dive in and if we need to like fill in the gaps for some of the women for some of the data that was not provided because i'm all about hard data i'm working with nate silver over at 538 we're going to crunch the numbers and gang we're going to get it fucking right this time um we're going to talk about all 30 of these ladies yes uh so we are pulling this information abc has a website where they list out all cast members uh with a headshot and then they're asked to complete a survey where they indicate some of

their interests so we can get to know them. We have done an episode like this in the past, but in those past episodes, we both kind of pour over the list. I have not looked at the list of women at all. Rachel knows everything about this list of women. I know absolutely nothing. And I'm so excited to meet these women for the first time.

Now, hopefully we can provide some, some tips for you if you are uh gonna participate in a fantasy league this year maybe we can maybe we can yeah i i picked out some of my favorites um i guess i'm gonna go at this sight unseen right unless you want to flash a headshot at me each time oh i didn't write anything about their appearance this time oh okay great uh should we talk about nicholas vial first nicholas sherman vial um i mean i feel like we've talked about him a lot born in milwaukee wisconsin this milk this

milk-fed beauty does not say that this curly head hair milk-fed beauty this mop top this beautiful milk-fed mop top boy his name is nicholas sherman vial and he is it really sherman fucking i don't know how am i supposed to know okay i like that he's born september 29th 1980 36 year old man on the television show uh so that's very exciting and he does sell software and he's an executive at it he's been on four different products in the Bachelorverse, season 10 and 11 of The Bachelorette. And that was for Andy Dorfman and Caitlin Bristow, respectively. He was the runner up for both of those women. Both women were like, I like this guy a lot.

He's got a lot of potential, but not all the potential. Maybe he's lacking in potential compared to. Well, neither of those relationships ended. Well, I guess Caitlin's still with Sean. Are they still together? Yeah, yeah. I guess so. You said four products, though.

Are you counting this one as the fourth? Yes. Okay. I'm looking at this Wikipedia page for Bachelor Nation Wikia. He was also in season three of Bachelor in Paradise, which we talked about earlier this year, and this was sort of his redemption arc

because he was kind of a, I would say kind of a ding dong yeah so he the guys on his seasons never liked him um he always had beef with guys and then when he came back for the after the final rose he made andy seem um or he didn't make her seem anything but he tried to suggest that she was inappropriate for sleeping with him if she was not going to choose him this milk-fed beauty he really let me down in that moment wait where is he from you keep saying milwaukee okay that sounds right then yeah milk-fed seems appropriate um this milk-fed beauty really let me down in that after the final rose it was one of the grosser things i've maybe seen on this show yeah and then the very next season of the bachelorette uh caitlin rolls up and he just on the first episode pops his head and like hey

do you mind if i just uh do you mind if i just poke my head in here and purchase this paint and almost win this whole season is that okay and he was part of what became an uncomfortable moment because him and Caitlin broke the traditional gentleman's agreement of fantasy suite. Not a gentlemanly agreement, I would say at all. Well, okay, so they had intercourse prior to reaching the fantasy suite. And it wasn't, what he did was kind of gross in Andy's After the Final Rose thing. This was like the show being gross because all of a sudden that season just became about this. Yeah, because the two of them were both just like, hey, we were really feeling it. They were in Ireland, the fucking Cranberries were playing.

They were like, I can't not fuck you. The Cranberries are right there. They had a great dinner and some wine. But then it became a whole thing. And they made a decision and then the show tried to shame them for it so this boy's just gotten into a lot of hot scrapes because of his dalliances and he and he's very wise on bachelor in paradise he became kind of the sage of like let me tell you how to find love that was what i was alluding to earlier this season of bachelor in, he was fucking great.

He was really, really good. And it was sort of his, I think, we talked about it then, like he's getting a good edit. And the edit is so good. Maybe he's being set up to be the next Bachelor. And Bob's your uncle. Here we are. So he's going to be the Bachelor in this new season. We've seen a few promos,

and it looks like just sort of your basic drama's gonna happen. Some of those promos make him sound like a fuck robot, and that's a weird sort of angle for them to take. Yeah. His arc seems to be that he is incredibly desirable to all women. Yeah, I guess.

I mean, these two women certainly found him very the three including jen um found him pretty desirable which i always felt like he had kind of a little brother quality like maybe like a milk fed scamp like maybe your best friend has like a kind of attractive younger brother and and you would be like hey yeah like, a kind of attractive younger brother. And you would be like, hey, yeah, your brother's kind of good looking. But that would be about it. Like, I want to make him a sandwich more than I want to sleep with him. I don't know.

I think he's a sexy dude. Yeah? Yeah, he's got sort of that J. Tims. Kind of that milk-fed. Like a milk-fed J. Tims. No, I could see that. You know what I mean? Uh-huh.

No, I get it. I mean, I'm mean? Uh-huh. Now I get it. I mean, I'm looking at a picture right now, and it's just like, got milk? I mean, he's definitely worked on that body. He's worked on that body so hard. He's got the bachelor abs now. He's got the, yeah, that comes with, Chris Harrison has an intensive CrossFit regimen that he puts you through. I hope it's Cody. You remember it didn't

who oh cody who did cody work out cody worked out probably ben right or chris probably worked out chris it was chris got chris that hard hard now that's a that was a corn fed body and you can see the difference you can see the difference um what about Ben? What was Ben fed by? Ben was fed, he rejected women and sustained himself solely on that. Just sort of like an ego vampire. Axe grease. Axe grease, yeah. Axe body spray, he ate it for fuel. Can we talk about these ladies now?

Yes. I'm going to load up pictures of them as you read it okay uh because i i don't want to be i'm not gonna do like a hot or not dot com assessment rate my teacher give them a little chili pepper do the kids today know about hot or not probably not that was something gross that your parents did did you do rate my professor uh it existed but i think i was already out of college i used to rate my professor in like my freshman year of going into college because i wanted to know like who the real hard asses were oh not not who the the sexy no okay i didn't give a shit i wasn't gonna i wasn't gonna make love to my professor i thought you made your schedule by

chili peppers no i'm saying that was an aspect of it. I would go by how much homework they would give out. And if it was seven or above, I'd be like, no thanks. Oh, Griffin. I'm just a freshman. That's when I almost lost my scholarship. I didn't do so good my freshman year. Maybe if I'd gone with some of those chili pepper teachers,

they would have really grinded me down. Or worked harder. Or worked maybe a little bit harder. Are we going by alphabetical order? Yes. Exc dip in okay so alexis starting with alexis 23 from secaucus new york this milk new york new jersey griffin see you're gonna spoil it this isn't gonna work no no i'm not looking i'm not laughing at that i'm laughing because i'm gonna literally refer to every human being that we talk about today as a milk-fed beauty. Okay.

Okay, so Secaucus, New Jersey. This is where we start into the dolphin belt. Is New Jersey on the dolphin belt? No, but I'm going to go through a bevy of ladies that are all dolphin enthusiasts. Okay. You know how there's like the breadbasket of the U.S., all those states in the middle, and you put them together, and it looks like... And the Rust Belt. Well, no, no, but the breadbasket

states, if you put them all together north to south, it looks like a little gnome standing there with a funny hat. I never knew that. Yeah, the state's right perfectly in the middle. I think going down to Louisiana is the boot of the gnome. I think New Jersey is shaped like a dolphin. And maybe it combines with other states' Voltron style

to make a dolphin shape. Okay. I'm looking at this picture of Alexis now. I think Nick would... How old is she? 23 years old. 23. I think Nick would enjoy that very much, that number.

Yes. Remind me again, he's 36? 30, 100... 30, 100 years old. 30, 600. 30, 600 years old. Have you seen the Mummy movies? No. They're really good. I you seen the Mummy movies? No.

They're really good. I know that's part of your goof that I've seen them, but I haven't. You haven't seen any of the Mummy movies with Brendan Fraser and Rachel Wise? I don't know that I've ever seen a movie with Brendan Fraser in it. What? Blast from the Past? No.

With him and Alicia Silvergate Stone? I never saw George of the Jungle. I know he's in that one. Good one. That's a good one, though. He's one of those people that I see in a movie poster and I think, oh, I don't need to see that. Oh, that's horrible to say about Mr. Brendan Fraser.

The movie movies are good. The Rock was in one. Hello. The Rock got a spinoff. Hello. Are you in there? McFly. We're taking too long. Let talk about alexis though uh so the reason i say that she is a dolphin enthusiast is because

she has probably the most creative job title this season she is a quote aspiring dolphin trainer we're all aspiring dolphin trainers hello yes that is the truth uh and she gave my favorite survey answer which Which was? Wow, we're starting off strong, huh? I know. She's everything and more. What are you most afraid of? I don't, me? Are you asking me personally?

I just wanted to see if you had a guess for what her answer would be. Because in previous seasons, it's usually like getting diarrhea on the date. Yeah. Her answer was E. was et the alien the alien i am most afraid of the puppet alien et from the movie yes holy shit yes that is all time alexis hello alexis yes hello hello alexis welcome to the party hello nurse she's 23 so that movie was That is all time, Alexis. Hello, Alexis. Yes, hello, Alexis. Hello, Alexis. Welcome to the party. Hello, nurse.

Also, she's 23, so that movie was made before her time. So I wonder if she saw it as an adult and thought, whoa. No, thanks. How do people like this? How do people like this weird worm-looking dude? Yeah. No, thank you. I don't even like Reese's Pieces anymore.

So I'm sorry to start out with my favorite answer, but she's just such a strong, strong character. Okay, you want to keep moving? To Angela. So the reason I think a lot of women said dolphins. So we move on to Angela, who's 26 from Greenville, South Carolina. There's a question on the survey about what animal would you be? And she answered dolphin. And I think just a lot of women think that's a strong answer. Dolphins are smart. They're, you know, they move quickly. It's a good... No, I like a dolphin.

Don't get me wrong. Like a lot of people, a lot of hubbub, a lot of ink has been spilled by the tabloid press, by the bloids and the blogs talking about dolphins. But they're a great, strong, powerful, smart, wonderful, beautiful, sexy animal. Angela also starts what becomes a slew of answers regarding if you had to pick a Disney character that you would be. She says Little Mermaid, and a lot of women say Little Mermaid.

What's the correlation? What's the Venn diagram between that and the dolphin women there's a lot of connections between dolphins and little mermaid there's there that's probably some sort of like what is the dolphin equivalent of furry and i don't want to get crude here but i and i don't want to be judgmental at all i'm genuinely curious people that like to dress as dolphins yes that's what i well no i'm saying like if you if you find if you find like furry animal human hybrids like cool and that's your thing like that's that's cool and that's a furry but like can is it still are you still a furry if you feel that way and your fursona is a dolphin because dolphins don't have fur they have what like blubber they have smooth they have that smooth stuff you're just circling

around something that i can't contribute to i'm going somewhere where you cannot come with me but it's something we're talking about i feel like is it yeah i think so because you can't be blubberies right so you're saying these women all have in common a love for under the sea creatures under the sea stuff yeah just kind of like smooth, smooth, wet. Okay, so you're taking it in a different, you're taking it in a way. Well, I'm. Pescatarian, is that what that is? No, that's what, if they like to eat, eat the creatures.

She's a model from, what, Greensville, South Carolina. I think, I think, I think, I mean, she's I mean she's all of these women are lovely lovely young women yeah that's why I didn't write anything about the pictures I just didn't see a lot there

I just think I'm just trying to figure out what Nick likes oh well I mean you can I wrote down some survey questions that I think will be appealing to Nick okay because Nick has indicated

that he likes a strong lady that's true let's move on well I want to write so on her survey yes angela said her worst date memory was quote a guy putting down the name as batman while we waited for a table so immature angela that rules i know you don't deserve that person that's what i thought that was fun also you don't know How is that a worst date memory?

Yeah. Somebody did that. Especially if it was your date was with, sorry, was your date with Bruce Wayne? Because guess what, Angela? That is the Batman. And he made a horrible mistake. But he's like a billionaire. So next we have Astrid.

She's 26 from Tampa, Florida. She's a plastic surgery office manager. Uh, also likes dolphins and the little mermaid. She looks like one of the women from burning love and that's going to really mess me up. Um, uh, what are you most afraid of Astrid?

And she responded dying alone and just getting old and wrinkly. Well, that's, I mean, one of those is probably going to happen. Yeah. I, I, I just, it made me sad to see, that's, I mean, one of those is probably going to happen. Yeah, I just, it made me sad to see, you know, a 26-year-old woman already afraid of getting old and wrinkly. And dying alone.

Yeah. You got lots of time, Astrid. You got a cool name. Like a lot of people just say Spiders. Yeah, Spiders is a good innocuous. She went really deep on that. What do you think her favorite adam sandler movie is this is our first fill in the blank segment oh oh it can't be click right that's too scary uh wedding singer wedding singer seems nice yeah because it's a happy it has a happy ending do you

have an answer to this i think it's no i'm asking you i think wedding i think wedding singer is it this is not one of the provided survey questions chris arson's like not like which which adam sandler movie do you like the most okay it can't be click though right we have to agree on this i don't know anyone that has ever seen click i've you do you've married one oh you've married one such man griffin remote control breaks and he fast forwards really quickly and he gets old and he dies how's your click bad it's a bad click she would see this and she'd be like no awful awful experience griffin now we have to put a spoiler a warning at the front of this he doesn't die he's fine okay christopher walken comes in and saves him or something it's dumb okay uh plastic

surgery office manager is what she does yes uh want to move on please uh brianna or brianna i'm not sure we'll find out uh 28 from salt lake city utah she's a surgical unit nurse also likes dolphins in the little mermaid okay uh what is the most outrageous thing you've ever done brianna says move to utah that's pretty that's truly truly truly outrageous whoa brianna slow down uh yeah what's it what to say about brianna there's nothing there's nothing to say oh man that's not good well it's well yeah i'm looking through and just like the heat all right here's my here's my first pick. My first, you know, fantasy lock block pick. Hopefully. Her name is Brittany. Hello, Brittany.

That's a good name. She's 26 from Santa Monica. She's a travel nurse. I don't really know what that means, but I like it. And here's what I like about Brittany. She's wearing suspenders in this? No, it looks like she has hoodie straps on her shirt. It's a necklace.

She's wearing. How inventive. Okay. Britney survey. She loves Beyonce. She's afraid of snakes. Solid. Things like her pet peeves for worst dates are when they are rude to servers or on their phone.

I like Britney. When she lists the things that she would require you know a lot of people say like oh my iphone and my lip balm she's a fat dong she says tennis shoes wait oh oh requires she needs that she needs not in a loved one i thought she was saying what she requires from nick and i that's why i said a fat dong i know that you said that and i wanted to pretend like you didn't well we can edit out the whole no you're not going to you love to include stuff like this so things that she needs is her tennis shoes yeah she listed like you know a lot of people say stuff that's like really kind

of i don't know just like oh i i have to have my fake eyelashes and she's just like i need my off-court buddies like i need my tennis shoes so So I think Brittany, I mean, we'll see how it goes night one. But I think Brittany seems like a solid lady and a good fit for our boy Nick. Athletic, maybe. With tennis shoes. Yeah. Travel nurse? There's got to be some stories there.

What's a travel nurse do? Like they work on Survivor? I thought maybe it was like somebody on like cruise ships. Interesting. That's a bad job. i don't know if that's true baby can you imagine a worse job than a cruise ship nurse what's up you just they open the door and you're just like here's a diarrhea pills yeah exactly you just have like a t-shirt cannon gun full of modium and you're just like open your mouth pow see what sticks what else could a travel nurse be? I think they work on Survivor.

They do some sort of charity stuff. But that's not funny. Charity? Oh, you're saying like go to countries where they would need nurses? Mm-hmm. There should be a travel nurse on every airplane because they don't have diarrhea medicine on airplanes. And we've talked about this. And it's important to me.

This is my new cause. This is my new nonprofit. is my new non-profit it's called it's called clean skies clean skies blue sky blue skies uh i like i like um what about uh uh no i got nothing no we'll hit it we'll find it okay i'll think about it skyria no no skyria but it has a one of those red circle like the ghostbusters no sign on it what about cumulus cloudy with a chance of clean shorts there it is griffin cloudy with a chance of clean shorts i'm so proud of you thank you you. It's wonderful. You worked really hard on that. We're going to end it there at 23 minutes. Who's next? Okay.

Kristen? No, skip it. No, I'm just kidding. She looks fine. Kristen's 25 from Tulsa. She's a wedding videographer. Hey, that's a fun job. I've videographed a couple weddings. I feel like she... here's another prediction. I think she's going to get her own little spot,

her own little package at the beginning of episode one. Will she get some drama on drama? No, it's going to be her shooting weddings. I've always wanted my own one of these things. Yeah, exactly. I film so many of these things, and I want one of these things for me to happen. Exactly.

Who will film it? That's the recursive mystery that can never be solved. On her survey, they asked her if you could break any laws with no repercussions. What would you do? Murdering. She said, I would break into the White

House and spend months sleeping in a storage closet and observing what actually goes on behind closed doors. In the room where it happens for four months. I like that she can break any laws and she decides she's going to spend months sleeping in a storage closet. Oh, yeah. What a sweet dream that would be.

Like, why wouldn't you just pick a bedroom? That's a really, that is a honeypot question, though, on a romantic survey like this. Oh, there's another good answer I'll give you later. Okay. So that's Kristen. Corinne is 24 from Miami, Florida. She's a business owner. What's her guilty pleasure TV show?

Scandal. A lot of people say scandal. Bachelor. No. No. Corinne. Dinosaurs. uh scandal a lot of people say scandal bachelor no um no corinne dinosaurs corinne says frazier but she's 24 like again she was not alive when frazier was on i bet no she had to seek that out and just just love it just eat a pint of ice cream and watch Frasier. Just see what the Crane family's up to. So what's her business? Fill in the blanks. She doesn't say.

No, fill in the blanks. What's her business, babe? I'm supposed to guess? Mm-hmm. Well, she loves Frasier. She loves Frasier. We know this. Her business.

She repairs. She business. She repairs. She makes. She makes. Clothes for dogs. Okay. And she loves Frasier because of that adorable Eddie. Eddie was a fucking nightmare monster dog. That dog was the shittiest, worst dog.

You know how Alf ate cats in Alf? Eddie ate cats in Frasier for real, though, for acting energy. Where would Eddie even come across a cat he's an apartment dog they had to put Eddie I one down because he was such a shithead and then they got Eddie two and Eddie there were actually multiple Eddies yeah no shit that show ran for 40 years they went through like three of the old man dad too not a lot of people know that. And Kelsey Grammer's twin brother prestiged in there at a certain point.

Nobody even knew about it. Nobody talks about it. I don't have any good Frasier comedy. I think the- Neither did Frasier. Okay. Who next? Come on.

Danielle is 27. Also a business owner from los angeles california she repairs fraser dvds that get scratched and broken um what is your favorite all-time book and why she said the five language oh the five she says the five languages of love. Interesting. Yeah. Have we talked about how I took that dum-dum thing because you... Because I asked you to. Made me do it. We both like affirmation.

Yes. We both like affirmation. I feel bad because one of my highest ones was gifts. I love gifts more than other things that are arguably way more important but like my number two one was gifts with a bullet the other one this was like and that was really low in mind acts of service was like zero percent i actually i actively hate acts of service i want gifts i want presents and gifts and goodies and sweets and treats. I want a bean cake, cookies and donuts and something with no nuts.

You're doing a lot of singing on this episode. I'm drinking a Coca-Cola Zero because our baby's not sleeping ever. Our baby's given us no sleep. He has gotten a lot better. He's getting better in the past day, yes. We've had a good day. On Christmas Day, he was effectively Krampus,

the devil Santa. So I'm still recovering from his Krampus fits. Next, we have the next Danielle. So there are two Danielle's this season. We just heard about Danielle L. You mean Danielle L. Danielle M is 31 from Nashville. She's a neonatal nurse.

And she's another pick for me. I think she is going to be a hot pick. So as I mentioned earlier, we have a hot pick in the woman that loved Beyonce in tennis shoes that I was excited about. I'm not going to sign off on your hot picks. Okay. Okay. So I like Brittany. And then the next person I like is uh daniel m and here's the

thing the reason i like her is kind of tacky uh but her fiance passed away and i just know this show and i know how they like to give good stories to people that have suffered tragedies yeah it stinks so i think that she might have a good story i'll say this how about these three all-time favorite movies the notebook okay uh the sandlot and ferris bueller okay danielle okay so danielle m was asked uh if you could break any law which law and why here's what she said i want to punch a kid this this makes me think that she's a wifey under the gross parlance of the show yeah uh pretty sure that there's a law in louisiana or tennessee that states you can't eat ice cream on the sidewalk or something weird like that i'll break that one that's so cute isn't

that like super wifey answer it is uh and i it's also interesting i didn't know that i love these weird laws that are like you can't shoot a whale from a helicopter well i think that's it's always a law i said no it's not you think that's legal in some places i first of all arrest me i'm in a helicopter what are you gonna do get in your police copter and pull me over? There's nowhere to go. It's the sky. I'll just go up above you. Eventually you have to come down, Griffin. Nobody goes up in a helicopter and stays there.

The Bachelor does. Forever? Basically for the span of about two months. He has to come down to get new women. But then once he comes down and it's been two months, double jeopardy applies. Let's move on. Okay, next we have dominique dominique 25 los angeles restaurant server at a planet hollywood oh you think yes i'm just i'm just looking at her she's got she's got a very affable smile just seems like planet hollywood smile i see restaurant server and i think she probably wants to be an actress in los angeles okay that's maybe okay you're gonna like this one

the question is lunch with three people alive or dead and what would you order okay her three people my grandfather leonardo dicaprio and Jesus. Excellent, excellent, excellent. And we'd be eating burritos from Chipotle. You know Jesus would love that. Chipotle is also on her list of five things she can't live without. Okay, so maybe she's a restaurant server at Chipotle. So my girl Brittany said tennis shoes. Dominique said Chipotle.

I mean, here's the thing. I gotta agree with Dominique i do like i mean i do like chipotle i'll eat chipotle no it is essentially one out of every six times i'll be very sick from it so it is it is literally russian roulette um because the burritos are even bullet shaped but i'm into it and i think jesus would love it i think jesus and dicaprio would have a lot to talk about her grandpa would be kind of the third wheel why do you think jesus and dicaprio would have a lot to talk about it's just like nobody liked dicaprio for a long time but then they like super did you know when do people not like him you never get that oscar you never got that gold trophy that's true uh next up

we have elizabeth who for this season is going by liz because there is another elizabeth uh liz is 29 from las vegas and she's a doula hey all right we had a doula for when we had a baby and she was wonderful we we really do we like doulas a lot um so here here's doulas are dope there's a lot of misinformation about doulas out there they don't come out there and they don't like fucking pickle your placenta or whatever for you i was really worried if that's your bag like cool whatever but we were under the impression that like they come out and they like squeeze the cord blood into like a scented candle that you get to eat forever i was really worried the doula would make me do all sorts of new agey stuff i

didn't want she did have those drops she had these herbal weird rose drops that she gave me because i was very scared very much afraid yeah but she she knew that i was not a big fan of such things and did not make me do anything i didn't want to do no she's good okay so doula okay so this is another solid survey question hell yeah okay so the question is if i never had to blank i would. Okay, so the question is, if I never had to blank, I would be very happy. So the idea is you fill it in with something that you don't like doing. So like, if I never had to go to the dentist again,

I'd be very happy. Oh, that would be mine. One of the women said, if I never had to work, I'd be very happy. Excellent, another good one. Liz says, if I never had to kill someone,

I would be very happy. Isn't that great? It's great, but it's also true, right? Like, I think most people on their deathbed, like, right when they're about to pass from this plane into the next, they think, like, I didn't have to kill anyone. Makes me wonder what doulas do in Las Vegas, that she's like, hey, I've got a few colleagues that did have to kill someone. Well, unfortunately, Double Jeopardy, what happens what happens there can't leave there so we'll never know so have you seen the movie double jeopardy with ashley judd uh and tommy lee jones yeah i think i have unless i was wrong about tommy lee jones in which case i have not seen

yeah i don't remember if he was in it i just remember the judd no judd hirsch was the other person in it judd nelson he was just a judd a judd joint is a judd affair okay uh next is elizabeth 24 from dallas she's a marketing manager fuck this i'm gonna say team liz all the way elizabeth get out of here no way i'm trying to keep an open mind but my girl liz is going to the top and elizabeth there's just no room for you here in this outfit so elizabeth answers a question about her favorite television show okay and and here's the thing and and you may need to google this for me uh so she says game of thrones if i don't want people to judge me and then she says jami private school girl if i don't care jami jami jami private school girl j-a apostrophe m-i-e i'm googling this television program because it

sounds amazing so it sounds like game of thrones is what she wants people to think but secretly she likes this private school girl show and i don't know what it is this tv show is an australian comedy series uh about jay jamie high jamie king uh and uh it's okay the six episode series stars australian comic and writer chris lilly in the title role lilly also created wrote and starred in summer high tie as well as angry boys and when she played all six main characters i don't know anything about this um i don't know how she got her hands on it but apparently it's a it's a big favorite i guess so it's like a six episode series this is your favorite television show this is your favorite television show this

six episode television series is your favorite one okay well it seems strange to me that she'd want to hide that like who's going to be like oh oh i've heard of that and i'm very embarrassed i was produced in association with abc and hbo so maybe hbo picked it up i don't know okay team liz all the way elizabeth you seem nice you're from dallas texas that's great very close Very close quarters, but it's got to be Liz. Next up, we have Haley from Vancouver. She is 23 and a photographer. When asked if she considered herself a romantic, she said, Nope, I'm very passionate and can be intense, but I'm not into making out all the time and being sang to.

That doesn't necessarily mean what... Okay to that doesn't necessarily mean what okay that doesn't necessarily mean romantic we you gotta be making out all the time and being sung to i hate being sung to well we all hate being sung to unless you're at the coldplay play concert and chris martin's up there doing his thing for you yeah i just thought that was really like making out all the time too i just what why are you on this show ma'am because have you seen the show that is what you're gonna have to make out all the time and guess what you're also gonna be sang to and 99 of the time it's gonna be bad unless it's the cranberries oh my gosh i hope she goes on one of those dates where somebody's standing right next to you singing you mean half the dates yeah i think she i think there's a good chance it's gonna be so good uh okay so she also says what type of music

do you listen to most often she says cheryl crow is my girl so i take back everything negative i said once again she's 23 how did she dig up cheryl crow don't say sorry i shouldn't say that was unfortunate i didn't mean to i just i'm surprised by these young 20 somethings that have knowledge of of things before their time millennials who knows who knows i guess they have the youtube you know i was thinking about the other day they we just finished watching that survivor millennials versus gen x and for the most part like that whole construct was so shitty and gross yeah yeah um and it was all like well millennials you know they just don't work and they're always on their macbooks um but guess what oh spoiler alert if

you want to watch it then don't listen to this next part fucking millennial won it so guess what gen x eat my butt eat my whole butt eat my whole butt and my butthole well they did have a gen x person make it to the final three oh Ooh, wow. Way to go. But he wasn't clever enough. He didn't have that ingenuity. He wasn't flexible enough. He wasn't. He didn't have, you know. God, they leaned on it so hard in those first few episodes. They leaned on it so fucking hard. Just like, oh, Gen X. I bet you missed your iPhones.

Who is it? Jeff Probst was like, oh, you know, millennials might just take a long sentence and turn it into an emoji. Okay. Whereas Gen X people might want to spell out the whole sentence. I bet you miss your tablet computers. That was awful. Okay.

Next up, Ida Marie. Hello, Ida Marie. From Harlingen, Texas. 23, a sales manager if you could be any fruit or vegetable what would you be she said strawberry okay they are sexual and taste great with wine they are sexual can i get those sexual straw the extra sexual strawberries that you have put those grapes away those grapes well no grapes are exceedingly sexual they just not like strawberries no dude i would argue that even more so yeah they're just like little nipples

oh god that's so gross no babe it's exceedingly sexual why no don't hate it it's very sexual we have all these grapes in our fridge right now, and now I'm not going to want to eat them. More grapes for me. My master plan unfolded. Okay, next we actually have a Jamie. Hi, Jamie. Jamie is 28, New Orleans. She is a chef.

Oh, that's fun. We don't have that many. Has there ever been a chef that has been like sort of featured in any way i'm excited about it well if you're a chef and you want to be on fucking a reality show like you are going to go to top chef or master chef or she said her biggest accomplishment was that she got to cater the oscars hell yeah jamie is that uh she said if she really wanted to impress a man uh she could bench press him with his her legs okay jamie powerful jamie powerful she did say depending she did say depending on how much bigger he is than me

but i imagine that goes without saying if it's like a 800 pound i imagine she could do nick easy though oh nick is nick is a slight man this this he's i mean he's a milk-fed beauty but he's still he's still you know know, stiff wind. Picks him up. Okay, so now we have two Jasmines. We have a Jasmine B and a Jasmine G. How fucking good would it be if Jasmine from Bachelor of Canada... I mean, it would break up her and Kevin, and that would be too bad.

But just what if she was on this one? I know. I miss her. She's still listening to our show by the way i know she left us a sweet comment when we had our baby yeah uh jasmine b is from tacoma uh she's a flight attendant her favorite author steve harvey hell yeah that's kind of a weird reaction was like very tempered there because i while i enjoy the work that the man does on the show Family Feud from time to time, he also harbors not so great opinions about things. Also, if you're thinking author.

That's the thing. Like on Family Feud, I feel like we don't get those not so great opinions on certain things. And maybe in his book, he really is given the sort of runway he needs to let those ideas take flight. She says he dishes out great advice on success and relationships all right all right jasmine g 29 san francisco she's a pro basketball dancer uh if you could be anyone else for a day who would it be she says guy fieri he can cook he gets to travel and eat food from all over the country and he is hilarious okay straight up let me finish please i'm the girl version girl fieri

yes and that is the name of our episode girl fieri okay can i say something about jasmine g because i was so now i want to know everything about it she lives in san francisco okay uh height five seven cool she got a couple tattoos uh lunch with three people library dad what would you order rupaul dave chappelle prince i would order pizza oh fucking yes hello jasmine g i know okay jasmine g yes absolutely also girl fieri is the best possible answer because we would all be living like Guy Fieri if it wouldn't kill us in 48 hours.

Are you kidding me? Can I see her picture again? I don't remember what she looks like and now I can picture as Girl Fieri. She doesn't look anything like Guy Fieri. She doesn't look anything like Guy Fieri. No, as good as that would have been if she had like spiky blonde hair.

And like a backwards visor. And backwards goggles on. Jasmine G is my new front runner. She is the best of all time. Yes, absolutely. Lunch with Roop. I almost said Ron Paul and Dave Chappelle and Prince. Oh, my God.

Okay. Now it's time for Josephine. Josephine is 24 from Santa Cruz. She's a registered nurse. If you could be any fruit or vegetable Which one would you be? Josephine said something disgusting So nobody eats me

Another smart answer from Josephine I kind of missed the point of the question though No it didn't The question isn't about surviving It's just about what fruit you think represents you No this is like some Kobayashi Maru shit Where it's like the least obvious answer Is

You're supposed to pick a fruit that like you think is what would you like to be if i'm gonna be transformed into a fruit okay here's what i'll say i griffin would turn into a banana somebody would see me be like banana pick me up and eat me now i'm dead no if i said like oh i am a rotten durian that has been laying on the ground in the hot sun for two months. No, you say something like, oh, I'd be a kiwi because I'm soft and sweet. No, a kiwi, I would find that and I would probably

eat it. Now you're dead. You're not going to win a show because you're dead. I'm a rotten durian. Even if you pick me up, you think, what is this thing? You pick me up and I got a powerful stink. You put me right back down. Ha ha ha. I live to see another day. What fruit would you be, babe? Uh... A lot of women said pineapple, which I thought was kind of fun is that what you'd be no okay no um one one woman said onion too which that was kind of funny and kind of like kind of standard i guess so you'd get like

sauteed um i would say maybe watermelon no you're dead babe i would eat you i would eat you up some people really like watermelon but some people don't and i feel like that's true with me too i wait what that you some people don't like me no everybody likes you but i'm saying that everybody enough people like watermelon that they would see you and cut you open into little pieces and eat you and spit your guts out and you'd be dead. And I'd be there hoping that my durian wife would come find me, but she transformed into a watermelon and now she's gone and dead and eaten. You got to think about this stuff, baby. We have a child now. Survival's important.

Okay. Next up, we have Christina, 24,xington kentucky she's a dental hygienist she said her favorite television show was ninja warrior hell yeah which i just brought up because i like ninja warrior and i think more people should be open and honest about liking that show it's a fun show i like watching strength yeah absolutely it feels American to watch that show, even though it's not an American show. No, not even close. But I just feel like a lot of Olympic spirit when I watch it. I mean, American Ninja Warrior is an American show, I guess, technically.

Yeah. It's better than Wipeout. I don't want to watch people get hit in the balls with a pie. No. I want to watch them get thrown around in this big column, but then persevere. Yeah, exactly. Casey, what's her face? Doing her thing

strong wonder woman yeah powerful i love these powerful women i was proud of her proud of her okay next up lacy 25 from manhattan she's a digital marketing manager uh her date fear is not going to lend itself well to this show. She says, what is your biggest date fear? She says that he's going to go on another date right after. Lacey! She says that has happened before. Oh, it's going to happen again a lot. Yeah, Lacey, this is like our friend Shannon from season one of The Bachelor.

Like, but Shannon didn't know. She didn't know how it was going to work. Are we friends now with shannon with shannon no nobody's reached out to us um this is yeah that's that's not that is not gonna so i i predict she's gonna have some hard times if you could be any fruit or vegetable which one would you be she said apple a little tough on the outside but sweet inside her apple's tough on the outside because people just bite right into those damn things. Yeah, I guess if you have weak teeth...

Tough apple. You don't like biting into an apple. You like to have it sliced up. Well, no, because it could be nails or staples or something in there. Or worms. Ew. A little caterpillar made a home in there. I might bite into it and I look inside and it's a little Richard Scarry car.

Aww. Aww, it's adorable, but I've destroyed the car and I've probably killed the sweet worm inside. Okay, so next up we have Lauren. Only one Lauren this season. There's not a lot of repeat names. Lauren is 30 from Naples, Florida. She's a law school graduate. She also likes dolphins. Her best date memory is very um very cagey she just says great dinner

conversation and mini golf that's her best date memory that's your best date memory that's the best date she's ever had tgi fridays we had a very nice conversation about about medicaid we played miniature golf and then we went out and we did some good putt-putt that is her best date i love putt-putt though i know i do too it's a good date i mean i'm not gonna argue with you it just seems like very non-specific to be 30 years old and to have your best date be dinner we ate some dope food and i remember we talked about some cool stuff and then i i you know then i posted up a 51 uh next up we have michelle 24 los angeles she's a food truck owner which i thought was kind of fuck yeah that's a cool one if you could have lunch with three people alive or dead who and what

would you order and then she kind of does it different so you know before we had the rupaul and the prince uh she kind of assumes that she gets to pick a person and a meal with each person okay so let's see let's rate let's rate her choices and also the food that she has now i want to remind you these are three people alive or dead okay she says dumbledore who was who was never alive so i guess we can say he's dead they don't give you fictional as an option but she goes for it with Dumbledore. Right, so he's dead. He's a dead character.

He was never alive. So she says, Dumbledore, Sunday roast. Mmm, a magical roast this is. Yeah, I don't know. Gwen Stefani, tacos. These tacos have me feeling hella good. Is this Dumbledore's hat? Was he here earlier enjoying a Sunday roast? Do these tacos have B-A-N-A-N-A-S in them?

No, that'd be crazy. Does this taco have spider webs? I could go for a while. This taco has spider webs on it. Did you get these tacos from a tragic kingdom oh babe all right anyway so she's a food truck owner so that's probably why she said tacos uh and then princess diana fish and chips fish and chips come for me princess die so i think michelle's gonna be a character i have a feeling yeah because this is the craziest shit i've ever heard in my life i want to have a sunday roast Dumbledore, followed by tacos with no doubt to Gwen Stefani, followed by reviving Princess Diana

for a bout of fish and chips. Yeah. Okay, next up, Olivia, 25, from Anchorage, Alaska. She is an apparel sales representative. Okay, so you work at J.Crew. That's fine. What's the most outrageous thing you've ever done she says trying out for her high school football team and becoming the kicker which i thought was kind of

cool that is cool although i'm thinking about that question now and the answer should invariably be trying out for the bachelor and apparently making it oh we'll wait for it somebody does give that kind of answer oh tight uh tight. Rachel is 31 from Dallas. She's an attorney. Her serious fear of an animal includes anything that flies, including birds and grasshoppers. I want to talk about something, and I don't really know the best way to talk about it,

but there are a lot of women of color in this mix. I noticed that. I guess it's all subjective, best way to talk about it um but there are a lot of women of color in this mix like a lot uh compared to i mean i guess it's all subjective but compared to previous seasons uh there's there's a ton uh which is really cool yeah no i'm excited to see that i don't i mean we don't know if it means that maybe more women of color are trying out or if they're, you know, being more thoughtful about selecting a more representative group, but it's nice to see. Yeah, sure. Raven is 25 from Hoxie, Arkansas. She's a fashion boutique owner.

And I guess all the women got asked if they had a fear of aging and if they're doing anything to prevent it. asked if they had a fear of aging and if they're doing anything to prevent it because she says uh she's not doing anything but then she says quote oh i'm sure i'll use cosmetic procedures to my advantage but tastefully done that's why everybody nobody says like give me some give me some whack i'm gonna go so hard i'm gonna have cheeks that are bigger than my head i want to look completely busted up there yes but not not old but like you know how some people they don't look old but they just look crazy busted because they have like a bunch of like they have like a spoiler up there installed or something their skin is so tight that you can you can see um yeah i want to

i want to get stretched out like that Doctor Who lady that's all just the skin face that scares Griffin still to this day. That's actually what I'm going for. I'd actually like to avoid that and have it be tasteful and good. Yes, I will have it, but it will be very good. Not like the bad surgery you see sometimes. Only one Sarah this season. Sarah, 26, from Newportport beach she's exciting what's

up oc she's a grade school teacher the most outrageous thing she's ever done she says quote maybe this okay sarah yeah that's right uh or or moving to new york with three dollars two bags and one me. I like that. I like Sarah. I thought that was cute. I like Sarah. You think she's going to have like that? Maybe she's going to be like a summer?

No, I hope she's not like Marissa. I hope she's like summer. Yeah, me too. One time we tried to go. The O.C.'s probably my favorite. How many times have you watched that show? I'm on number four right now. So it has been Rachel and I.

Henry hasn't been sleeping good at night uh ever since he's been born and so because he's a month old yeah you're always making excuses for his bad behavior um so my jam when rachel's sleeping and i take henry sort of out of the room to walk him around at three to six in the morning i'll just dip into some oc and i've watched an unconscionable amount of that show in the last like no joke three seasons in a month and i'm almost at the end so anyway one one year don't spoil anything oh i won't one year we went to max fun con at lago arrowhead and uh in outside of la and we tried to go to newport beach we went to newport beach where the show's shot in redondo beach yeah we got to newport beach and we looked around and we're like this doesn't seem like the oc and then we did a little research turns out redondo damn it and it's right

next to the airport we fucking blew it but anyway maybe she's like a summer or maybe like a taylor did you ever turn around on taylor townsend by the end of the series i was watching a little with you the other morning and and i like her more this time she's great she just she's she's great she's a lot she's great uh suzanna is 26 from san diego she's an account manager also likes a little mermaid uh i so i want you to help me figure out what this scene is that she's setting okay so they're asked what their most embarrassing moment is and she said when i tried to look sexy picking up a pen in front of my high school crush and banged my head into the table so how would one that's a loud soda and i apologize i wait for

the fizz well i want to talk about how delicious how delicious Coca-Cola is so we can get those sponsorship dollars. How would one try to look sexy picking up a pen? I mean, you want to see? Yes. Okay. I'll describe what Griffin's doing. Okay. Let me find a pen. I mean, you don't have to use a pen.

Here's a screwdriver. Okay. Why do I have a fucking screwdriver in my house? I don't know. I'm not a plumber. All right. So Griffin now, Griffin is standing up. So I'll walk in and be like, oops.

Okay, he dropped it. All right, now he's pushing his butt against the microphone. Okay, really wiggling it. Really wiggling it. Okay, well, those are some nice MeUndies. Oh, I dropped it again. Okay. Oh, now he's doing push-ups. Oh, yeah. Oh, this is

harder to do than I remember. Okay, now he's laying on the ground. And really, really showing off the meat. Yeah. Okay, that's good. I could see that would be effective that would be effective i got comfortable down here

and so the embarrassing part of that would have been if you had hit your head on the table right if i or if anybody had seen me do it except you my wife sorry i hit the mic that probably was not a good audio experience for anybody okay now i have to move all right so that's suzanna i'm really tired now from those two push-ups i did yeah i don't know why you did that turns you on though didn't it for sure um okay taylor 23 from seattle is a mental health counselor final three women very exciting i like taylor's answer to this question. Okay. If you really want to impress a man, what would you do and why? Number one, be myself. Number two, be open and authentic. Number three, look bomb.

That's really good, Taylor. I like that, Taylor. That's true. You got to be yourself. Nobody can love you until you love yourself or something. Got to be yourself, be open, and look bomb. But do look bomb, though. Be the you you want to be, but make sure you're looking bomb while you do it.

Vanessa, 29, from Montreal, is a special education teacher. Do you have any phobias? She answered sharks slash bees. Well, that's a great answer can i tell you why you see a bee's nest hive thing and you are because you're looking for i don't know honey or something and the beehive falls down and then all of a sudden there's a bunch of bees chasing you oh shit oh shit oh shit you run and jump into the water safe from the bees but now there's sharks in the water so you have this one-two punch of

there's nowhere safe to go there's nowhere safe to go see i interpreted that shark slash bees as like a shark bee hybrid that's ridiculous that can't exist it's fun to think about though isn't it a little bit it's fun to use your imagination to think about it though though. I like it, babe. Okay. Our last lady. The final woman. Whitney, 25, from Chanhassen, Minnesota, is a Pilates instructor. Do you have a serious fear of any kind of animal?

Now, this is going to be the woman that overcomes her fear this season because her fear is horses. You guess what, Whitney? You're going to go on a horse date. You're going on a horse date immediately. Yes. Those are our 30 ladies.

I, who do you like? Who's your front runner? I mean, I told you who I like. I like Brittany. Brittany is good. Yes. I think Brittany is going to be a good fit. I like.

Danielle M. Danielle M. Yes. Liz liz i like the doula i think she'll do pretty well jasmine g definitely yes with answers like that i think michelle's gonna do well michelle michelle is the food truck owner i think that's great i think that's really fun i think i think you'd get a kick out of that i think if you're a food truck owner. I think that's great. I think that's really fun. I think he'd get a kick out of that. I think if you're a food truck owner, you have to be interesting and you also have to be determined. So I will say,

on a season where Nick is 36, how many women are over 30? I think two. Did you happen to notice? I think two, maybe three. So let's see there is daniel m is 31 well don't put these women on blast well they put themselves on blast uh and then we have lauren who is 30 so that's two rachel is 31 that's three uh and then that's it that's it okay so nick three one out of

33 one one out of ten one tenth of the women are uh yeah okay all right all right nick all right nicholas mr nick you remember how optimistic we were what if this is an older batch of women nope nah uh yeah so those are the 30 women that's your bachelor chris harrison's probably gonna be there a little bit sometimes maybe i guess yeah i mean if he follows the trend he'll be there even less than previous seasons how to watch the show it's on mondays still right are they doing that sunday monday back-to-back bullshit i don't know but typically monday check your local listings yes monday at at, uh, eight Eastern seven central. Yes.

Uh, there's ABC. ABC. The Rose Reckoner.com is a great platform that, a listener of ours, uh, put together. Uh,

if you're looking for something as, as an app, uh, ESPN fantasy now has a fantasy football style. Four, four, four 20. It's four 20 right now.

I just thought I'd tell you that, babe. Okay. Nice. Nice. Yeah, like awesome. So if you're looking to just do a bracket, you can do the ESPN app and you can do like a bracket

as a mobile app on your phone, which would be fun. But if you want to go more granular week by week point-based system, then hook up with the Rose Reckoner. We'll be doing, we'll be doing something similar. We're probably gonna be doing that

because it is kind of a drag to like keep, keep score yourself while also taking notes on the show for the podcast that you do. And if you're like, oh, I don't have a fantasy team, but I really want to do this.

Last season anyway, people created their own little teams in our Facebook group. So hit up our Facebook group and find some buddies, create a team. We have gotten so many gifts around the holidays. I want to say thank you to some folks.

Erica sent us a little handmade lovey that was really sweet Sarah sent us a blanket Erica sent us a blanket we have so many beautiful beautiful blankets we're going to use all of them and thank you all very very much for those

Let me run through this track list real quick, because I did not look at this. I appreciated the novelty of it. Not that it's kind of a banger. I bet it is. Number one, who's that opening up with a song called Mittens? Which I guess is that Raindrops on Roses song, right? Is that song just called Mittens? No, that's called A Few of My Favorite Things.

Well, that's Carly Rae Jepsen doing that one. Thank you, my queen. Got some Justin Bieber, a mistletoe train shake up christmas i heard fucking that uh that that hook from this christmas the donnie hathaway heard that i was like fuck yeah here we go train covered it it was a train cover of i'm sorry it was awful one republic coldplay christmas lights that could be fun norah jones sarah burrell burrellis gavin de graw the christmas song welcome back gavin de graw into the national conversation a lot of good stuff on here grace potter and the nocturnals

Yeah, and thank you to everybody that sent us holiday cards, too. We got a whole lot of holiday cards. Some people send, like, we get a lot, a lot of stuff in, and so if you sent us something and we didn't acknowledge it, I am genuinely sorry. We get, like, a shit ton of stuff in that P.O. box. They've had to start, like, putting it in other P. other po boxes and leaving us keys in our po box

to the other po oh we also got an amy's ice cream gift card from the woman that ran into you at the restaurant oh yeah thank you very much she wrote a very sweet note and thank you so much for listening uh okay that's oh how do you feel let's real quick in like a minute are you excited for next season how do you feel like it's gonna go what do you think is gonna be the highlights do you think it's gonna to be yucky? Here's what I'll say what I'm hoping for. What are your hopes and your dreams? What kind of animal you want to be?

I really enjoyed Nick as a commentator on Bachelor in Paradise. He was a very good audience surrogate. And sometimes if you get that in the host role as the bachelor or bachelorette, like somebody who's talking about what it's like to actually be on the show in that moment, it can be really, really good. I want her to rise up, or sorry, I want Nick to rise up to the ranks of Jasmine in his ability to articulate what is happening. I always really appreciate that in a bachelor or bachelorette. So I will say that is a hope for me. I don't think he's going to be especially good with the women,

just based on previous experiences. Yeah. I think he will succeed in wooing some ladies, but I just don't know that he's going to be able to give them what they need. Yeah.
