Welcome back to the Thick AF podcast.
Hello.
We're so happy to be here.
We are hanging out on hump day.
Actually, it's not hump day.
What is it called?
No, no.
Well, you guys, for you guys, it's hump day.
Today is Tuesday.
Yeah.
All right.
So today we are back with some more love is blind, you know, discussion because we love
that show.
I have a lot.
We hope you love it too.
And if you don't love it, you should watch it because it's drama.
Oh my gosh.
I sent you today.
Did you see the Instagram thing that I sent you where they're saying that the reunion
is going to be live?
Yeah.
So it's going to be wild.
It's going to be wild.
So they're saying anything can happen, which you know, live really, I assume means like
they have 15 seconds or something to edit something out like five seconds.
Yeah.
I would assume that as well.
I mean, but we'll see.
We'll see how it goes.
I'm excited, but that's not till the 16th.
So yeah, we got a little ways to go before that.
Not some time.
All right.
So the next three, was it just three episodes came out?
Yes.
Six, seven, eight.
Okay.
Oh, news and reviews and reviews and reviews.
Thank you.
All right.
News.
So I purchased, it took me a little while to get it because I think it's flying off
the shelves, but they are calling it a dupe for the super goop glow screen and it is Elf's
woe screen or woe glow sunscreen slash primer.
And it's like 14 bucks and I love it.
It's really nice.
It has a little bit of a sunscreen smell, but nothing crazy.
And it leaves you really, you know, dewy and hydrated looking.
And I have it on my face right now.
Can you tell?
What is it called yet?
It's called Elf's woe glow.
Woe glow.
Yeah.
And it is, so it's like, is it?
It's a like dewy sunscreen slash primer.
Okay.
With 30 SPF.
It doesn't have like tint or anything in it?
Nope.
Okay.
Cause I was like, I can't tell that you have like any makeup on, but your face looks good
without makeup.
It looks like you have makeup on when you don't have makeup.
Well, thanks.
Legit.
She got that good face.
She says she doesn't.
She's like, I have adult agony.
And I'm like, yeah, like one pimple.
Like, no.
Oh my gosh.
The feeling of the acne.
That is the problem.
Oh.
Because I pick at it like a meth face person.
Well, is that what they do?
Or they just, they just have crazy faces.
Well, I mean, I think they pick their faces.
I have acne and I pick up my acne.
Well, I do too, but doesn't everyone?
I don't know.
Oh, on, on.
Oh, so I've been watching.
I know we're talking about news and reviews, but like I've been watching, uh, what's the
other one called that I was texting you about last night?
A perfect match.
Oh yeah.
Like all the love is blind, all the reality show stars on there.
And one of the things was like cringe or cringy.
Oh yeah.
Um, and they were like, do you like to pop each other's pimples?
And I was like, I thought I, I thought exactly what I forgot who, who was it answered.
One of the guys was like, I mean, like, do I like to pop other people's pimples?
Yes.
But do I think it's cringy?
Hell yes.
And I'm like, yeah, me too.
Like I love it.
But I also, I think about it and it's really disgusting.
I have to completely agree with you.
I would pop somebody's pimples and I like remember doing it like with my friends in
high school, like especially their back knee or whatever, but I think it's disgusting.
Yeah.
And I watched like Dr. Pimple Popper and I watched all the weird stuff and you know what
I used to watch?
Oh my gosh, this girl got this me on this.
Um, it's like, I forgot what they call the YouTube channel, but there's this guy on there.
I don't know where he's from, but he goes and he's like, whatever country they're in,
they don't have a lot of shoes or they don't, a lot of people are like really poor and they
can't wear shoes and stuff like that.
And so they're like outside and they get these things called jiggers or they're like some
type of bug that like gets inside your skin and like basically like makes eggs and then
like lays eggs and then like hatches.
Oh, it's disgusting.
And they go in there basically.
Yeah.
And they go in, he calls him Jigga.
He's like, Oh, the Jiggas, we're getting the Jiggas out.
Look at that nasty Jiggah and it's so funny.
The guy, I mean, it's not funny.
It's disgusting, but I love watching it.
It is, you would probably vomit.
I'm going to show you later.
It's really gross.
I mean, you know, you can get like tapeworms from walking around barefoot.
How do they get in your feet though?
I know.
Really?
We'll have to Google that, but I remember maybe you get a cut or something.
It gets an, I don't know.
That's weird.
Maybe.
Um, but yeah, it's, I love watching that show.
It's like the Jiggas.
He's like, Oh, the Jiggas.
And they, they take like a, these people don't have any like pain medicine or anything that
they give them.
They don't numb it or anything.
They just go over there and they've got like a 15 blade, um, like a surgical blade and
they are like slicing their foot open and like cutting these big things off.
They've got like these terrible, I've got to show you, I've got to show you.
It's so good.
No, I'm not going to watch it.
Okay.
Well then there's this other girl and I forgot what her name is, but she does like, um, she
does waxing and stuff like that and sugaring for like, like bikini wises.
And she does, it's, it's a urban extraction.
I like her.
She does like when people get, um, ingrown hairs down there after waxing, she goes and
like pulls them out and she's always like, Oh yeah, that's a good one.
Oh yeah.
And I'm like, Oh snap.
Like she pulls out these huge, like long, um, like curly ingrown hairs and it's like,
and she's like, Oh, that has to be like months, if not years worth.
I mean, yeah, yeah.
And people just have like these little tiny bumps and sometimes you don't even get a bump.
You just have a little thing and you pull it out and it's like, you know, curled up
in there and it's probably stinky.
Ew.
No.
Oh, I'm Googling the jiggle jiggers.
Oh, there's one.
It's called rise up society fan page and they're like trying to get awareness for these people.
Look at the feet.
That is disgusting.
Turn it off.
Oh my gosh.
Listen.
The jiggas.
Stop.
It's so gross.
Um, anyways, okay.
So get, get us on that.
You got any more reviews or news?
No.
Okay.
What kind of FMK you got for us today?
Well, since we are going into the spring, I figured I would do just a very simple FMK,
strawberry watermelon and pineapple fruit.
Her favorite is the strawberry watermelon and pineapple fruit.
I think she likes the strawberry watermelon and pineapple fruit.
Free simple FMK strawberry watermelon and pineapple fruit.
Her face is telling me that is the lamest shit that I've ever come to this table with.
It was not lame.
It's just like everyone likes all of those.
Who doesn't like, like why?
I don't want to kill any of them.
I was going to do cocktails, but then I was like, we've already kind of done that before.
You should have done like strawberries, pineapple and cantaloupe or something.
Something like some kind of nasty fruit that nobody likes.
Like bananas.
Okay.
And then you go, I'm just kidding.
But you did a good one.
Those are good.
I just, I like all of them.
I don't know who to kill.
But okay.
So isn't that the point?
Yeah, but you go first.
I'm scared.
Okay.
Well, I am going to marry watermelon, fuck pineapple and kill strawberries.
Yeah.
No, I'm not going to marry watermelon because watermelon is not always good year round.
You can only have it sometimes in the year.
Sometimes it's sweet and sometimes it's not so sweet.
And also do you put salt on your watermelon?
Sometimes.
Yes.
I remember my dad one time we got this big watermelon and somebody cut it.
I cut it.
I cut the whole freaking watermelon.
That thing's all, cutting a watermelon is hard and it's goes messy.
The most hard or difficult part of cutting watermelon is the cleanup afterwards because
it's on your shirt.
For sure.
You got to like wear like a freaking hazmat suit to do it.
And then your house, you need to do like Dexter in your house and like put a plastic.
So it's like water goes, oh, those juice goes everywhere.
Anyway, so he goes, I have the big, huge thing of watermelon in the refrigerator and we're
eating it and he gets it and he like, he was like, oh yeah, I like salt on mine.
And I'm like, yeah, okay.
Put the salt on your own and your own dish.
He freaking put it on the whole freaking bowl, ruin the salt on watermelon is disgusting.
I disagree.
I hate it.
Why would you ruin it?
It's I mean, and it's so bad for you.
Whatever.
Sprinkle a little salt on a couple of bites or two and I go kill you.
It probably will.
Salt is really bad for you.
Yeah, girl.
I know that salt is bad for you, but I'm still going to eat it anyway.
So I might as well put on something I like.
But that's so gross.
Why would you?
I only put salt on stuff that like legit needs salt to taste good.
Watermelon tastes good.
You don't need to put salt on it to taste good.
No, I know that.
I don't put it on every piece.
Oh, my dad did that.
It ruined it.
Ruined.
No, I don't put it on every piece.
No.
I mean, some people put like mint in their watermelon and mix it up, which is good.
But like put it separately.
But my watermelon Bud Light has a great cocktail cocktail our towel cocktail our cocktail
seltzer pack.
And one of the flavors is watermelon mojito.
So it has watermelon and mint in it.
It's my favorite one.
It's delicious.
Mm hmm.
I don't like usually I don't really like watermelon flavored things unless it's actually like
they made it at the restaurant and they use actual so like Taco Mama's watermelon margaritas.
Oh, you can't have margaritas.
Golly.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
Every time I say it, I remember as soon after it comes out of my mouth.
But geez, Louise, it's unfortunate.
Yeah.
OK, so I'm going to just do it.
OK, so I think honestly, I don't really like strawberries that much.
OK, now I think about it.
Pineapple if I eat too much of it, it burns my tongue.
I don't know if you guys get this like acid burn.
How much pineapples are you eating?
Oh my God.
Listen, my mom made homemade pina coladas at the beach and she tries to make them like
light so that they're not so sweet and stuff.
And she puts like a pineapple in it.
And I don't know how much pineapple she used, but she used a lot of pineapple.
And I was drinking them.
I had like me and my dad, she filled up my growler full of it and we took to the beach
and we're like, oh yeah.
And afterwards I was like, my tongue is burning.
And I know it happens to me.
I don't know if it's like a genetic.
I don't know what it is, but I've always had that issue.
If I eat too much pineapple, my mouth, it like makes my mouth raw.
It's really strange.
And so I was like acid from it.
Yes, it is.
Yeah, there's like a whole thing about it.
I guess I'm Googling and it like hurts my gums, like by my teeth and stuff.
And I'll be like, oh, I can't do anything.
It hurts.
So so pineapple, I can't really have that much.
So I'm going to fuck pineapple.
I guess I'm going to marry strawberries because they taste.
Well, they don't taste.
Yeah, they're going to marry strawberries and kill watermelon.
Yeah.
Wow.
I know.
Wow.
But I kind of want to kill the strawberries because you have you have to cut the green
part off.
I hate the green part of the strawberry.
Why can't you just bite into it and not cut it off?
I guess strawberries are easier to prep than the pineapple and the and the watermelon unless
you buy it.
I'm not about to cut up a whole fruit ever.
Really?
No, it's so much cheaper.
Have you seen how much pineapple costs like two dollars at the store?
If you get Publix pineapple, it's like ten dollars for two pieces, two little chunks.
It's like, OK, I'll buy the I love it, especially when they have it at Publix that is already
cut and it's like, oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
All right.
Let's dig in.
Moving on.
All right.
Love is blind.
So there are so many feelings.
So we have the next three episodes.
What was it?
Yeah.
Three episodes came out six, seven and eight.
And we watched them over the weekend.
So do we want to kind of start off where we left off, which was Zack sitting down with
Bliss in the previews, right?
Yes.
Yeah.
Sitting down with Bliss to have like a post-pod conversation.
They had not met yet.
And so we knew that that was happening, but didn't know exactly what the outcome of that
was going to be.
Right.
And I do want to point this out.
OK.
Did you know that they did not have any devices until they got to move back home?
Yeah.
They didn't get to have their cell phones at all.
Yeah.
Or anything.
That is wild.
Yeah.
And I thought about it.
So I was thinking, OK, so if I was going to get engaged to somebody, like if I were going
to do this, they spend it's 10 days, I think, in the pods.
Right.
Yes.
So they're 10 days, but they are basically in there like I would assume however many
hours a day.
Let's say eight hours a day, like if you think about it, that's like a year's worth of date.
If it's just one person, like if you go on a date like once a week with somebody, that'd
be like a year's worth of dating if you spent that much time with them.
I mean, that's a lot of time.
Oh, for sure.
Yeah.
So they can.
You're really developing connections with people through the process.
Yeah.
Just not a physical connection as we saw with old kick rocks, homie.
Irina.
Yeah.
So she and Zach decided to go their separate ways, which, you know, good for him.
So he goes, you know, and meets Bliss.
And I guess it goes well enough because they ended up going out, you know, several times
after and all the way enough to have them go on this like boat date.
And he proposes and she says, yes.
OK.
So you just like cut to the chase.
Like you just like fast forwarded like five episodes, like to the end.
So like we need to back up.
OK, sorry.
Let's back up.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
I'm just going to let you lead the conversation and I'll pop in every now and again.
I was like, you just like, oh, blah, blah, blah.
We didn't even get into the details.
I'm like, hello.
OK.
So Bliss met old boy at the restaurant.
Yes.
And they had not met in person yet.
So this was their first meeting.
Yeah.
So they're there and it looked like they were both at work, like on a lunch date or something
because they were dressed up.
I mean, he was in a suit, blah, blah, blah.
And Emily keeps saying, why is he in a suit?
Why is he in a suit?
And my only response is he's an attorney.
I mean, like he was real dressed up.
I mean, she looked like she was in like work clothes, too.
Yeah.
Like she also could have been in clothes that were just like you can like, you know, take
that to anywhere.
Yeah.
So she kept saying while they were there, she kept saying or she said, yeah, it was
really interesting to meet you and to meet you in person.
And he was like, hopefully we'll do it again.
And she's like, we'll see.
Well, I think she was trying to play coy at that point, because at one point during their
conversation, you know, he was like, I made a mistake.
You know, we both, you know, know that I did.
And she was like, but that's like, you're not being fair to me right now because he
told her no.
And now he's asking her to come back around and participate in this whole, you know, quote
unquote experiment after he ditched her.
Yeah.
And I wonder if like, I don't know if they told her to kind of act that way or she was
doing it on purpose because she wanted to like teach him a lesson because she did say
whenever since we already jumped ahead that whenever he like proposed to her on the boat
that she knew she knew that he was like, well, when she was like, well, when did you know,
he was like, well, I knew like from the beginning and she was like, yeah, me too.
Kind of.
And I'm like, OK, well, OK.
So anyway, so next thing, we're just going to do Zach and Bliss right now.
Zach and Bliss went to see Zach at his house.
So we kind of fast forward through a couple of things.
I feel like I took good notes at this point.
You're going to be really proud of me at the things that I bring.
I want to know what you're going to bring up.
Is it about what color she was wearing?
No.
Oh, my gosh.
She was wearing orange again.
What is with the orange?
No, I and this was not something that I actually picked up on, but I did write it down after
Brandon said it.
But he was like, why does this guy have Captain America and Iron Man Pez dispensers on top
of his refrigerator?
How did he see those?
And I did it.
I usually see the details like that.
That's funny.
I want to go see those.
Well, he's kind of a little nerdy.
Well, he is.
Oh, oh, oh, the Harry Potter theme.
Yeah.
He talked about how he has a thing.
Oh, my gosh.
He has their sensors.
Yes.
That where when you walk into a specific room, it plays, you know, a different song, whatever.
And it's his bedroom, right?
That it is his bedroom when you walk in.
It plays the Harry Potter theme.
And I was like, that's what she said.
She really liked.
She was like, oh, that's kind of cool.
And I was like, really?
And then I played the Harry Potter theme and I was like, I mean, I could listen to that
if I walked in there every time I went to go to bed, if it was like after eight p.m.
And I was walking like you could set it at certain time.
So it's like, I don't know how it goes.
I can't do it in my head.
But like, you know, it's kind of like relax.
I should do that for like my guest room and have like some like Eye of the Tiger or some
shit.
So when I go in there to work every day, not the tiger.
You need to have that.
It's it's going to be a good day.
No, that's not pumpy enough.
Oh, really?
That is for me.
It's like it's going to be a good day.
But like, I can't put something like that in my bedroom because I go in and out of my
bedroom all day because that's where my bathroom is.
Like sometimes I'll go in the other bathroom.
But like, I mean, I drink water all day.
I pee like 600 times a day.
Yeah, that's a lot of that would get on my nerves.
Yeah, it would be funny if you did it like once or if you have people coming over and
they walked in and it did it.
Yeah.
But I think that really got me and I didn't I don't think I was paying attention to what
was happening.
But when he said the bags with the stakes in them busted, I didn't I thought he just
like put him in the refrigerator, stupid or something.
He was trying to suvey this shit.
I think so.
Yeah.
Plastic sandwich bags.
I don't think they were I don't think I think he was.
They were so I don't know if he was suveying them in that Brandon said he was.
I thought he was at first.
But then I looked and it looked to me like he was throwing them out.
And the bags busted that because how does that even happen?
I don't I don't know.
I may have to go watch that again, but I'm pretty sure that his dumb ass was trying to
suvey in a sandwich bag.
Well, I don't think it was a sandwich bag.
I don't think you I don't think they were in there because he was he wouldn't have been
cooking them yet.
They were raw still.
I don't think he was trying to sue me.
I don't know.
We may have to dig into that.
But yeah, but I did think that at first and I was like, I don't know.
I don't know.
But luckily, he had some shrimp.
Yeah, luckily.
Otherwise, it would have been a non meal.
It would have been I mean, honestly, it would have been a meal that I eat at home all the
time.
I never have meat because I'm always like, I don't know, like make it.
Oh, my gosh.
I have.
Yeah, I have meat a lot.
But then I'll go through phases where I don't.
But yeah, but I think all they have like mushrooms and onions.
I'll just like saute some mushrooms and carrots.
Was it carrots?
Make an egg with it or something.
Yeah, I'm like, yeah, that's nice.
OK, so yeah, I put in here.
OK, so she kept saying we'll see with a bunch of stuff like he was like, oh, we can do it
again or something.
She's like, oh, we'll see.
And I'm like, OK, you need to let you out.
Like, why do you keep coming over there if you're going to be acting like that?
Well, she may have just had a guard up, would you not?
If you didn't get picked and then, you know, this guy comes back, which I don't know that
this has ever been done on another season.
I got, you know, somebody has come back from the pods and like the quote unquote, like
they haven't.
As I really like this situation and then like partnered with somebody else.
Yeah, because there have been many times where couples didn't work out and, you know, there
was a runner up person for whoever and they've never come back into play.
Yeah, I mean, that's happened a lot, but I guess they're growing on the show because
they need to get it can't be the same old thing every time.
You know, it's kind of nice.
Yeah, the way that they kind of added additional folks to I know you don't want me to get ahead,
but like there was a birthday party at the end.
Don't know.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
I'm not going to say anything more than they had people that weren't matched with somebody
else at the party.
And usually they won't do that.
They'll get together as like a big group of couples a lot of times, but they're not interacting
with the singles.
Right.
They're trying to cause drama.
Yeah, for sure.
So with Zach, so he before he showed her his his he told her about the Harry Potter thing
in his room.
He was like, Oh, have you seen my bedroom yet?
And she's like, um, no, he's just socially awkward.
I'll show it to you later.
Yeah, I think it's kind of funny.
I mean, it's not in it's 50 50 in like a cute innocent kind of way and 50 50 50 50 creepy.
I don't know if I don't know about the creepiness yet.
I think that I think he's a nice person, but he just doesn't know how to be suave.
I honestly also think wonder if the show kind of portrays him has that and it makes it look
like he's kind of weird because like I've watched his videos on Instagram that he's
posted and he kind of seems like a nice, regular, really nice guy.
He's an attorney.
He has to be well written, well spoken.
You know, have to be.
But well, I mean, for the most part, though, you know, he's smart enough to, you know,
pass the bar and that sort of thing.
But I think sometimes he just doesn't know how to act.
Maybe like just not good at like reading the room type situation.
Like that was not an appropriate time to say that to her.
Oh, I think it was funny.
And I think that he was like trying to say, Oh, have you seen my room yet?
And like was going to be like telling her about the Harry Potter thing.
But it was kind of like he was trying to be like, have you seen my room yet?
And she's like, I'm no.
He's like, Oh, I'll show it to you later.
And then was like, yeah, I have the Harry Potter thing that plays or whatever.
So I don't know.
I thought I would have said something like that.
So do we want to go ahead and talk about their boat date now?
Or do we want to go on to some other people and then come back?
We can do a boat date if you want.
OK, so at the end, I already spoiled it.
She spoiled it.
Spoiler alert.
Lord have mercy.
Oh, so they're on their boat date.
They go on a boat date and this like big yacht thing.
And he said something.
They start talking about Furbies and gigapits on their boat dates.
Oh, and gremlins.
Yes.
Yeah.
And I was like, Oh, my gosh, I've talked about all of those things lately because gremlins
before they're so somebody told me what they were called the other day.
The gremlins before they get water on them, they're real cute and fluffy.
They're called like a Yoj.
I don't know what they're called.
They're called something.
A yoga yoga.
You.
Yo.
I'm not going to help you here, sister.
I have no idea.
I don't know.
Googly eyed something or other.
It's and then I think knows or maybe Sarah Ellen was the one I can't remember.
But my dog Butterbean looks just like one of those Furbies.
He's got the same coloring.
He's fluffy like that.
He's just a cute little thing.
And when he gets water on him, I mean, he's still sweet, but it kind of looks funky.
So OK, so tell me what you think about their boat date.
I don't know.
I just get this like sort of awkward vibe from them together.
But like I think that the things that they talk about prove that like they have things
in common and they would be like an OK.
Do you think they're going to get married?
Like they're going to both say yes.
I think that he would say yes.
And maybe she wouldn't.
I'm curious to see what their families think because, you know, their families weren't
incorporated period.
They didn't really talk about him a whole lot.
I don't think that they got the same apartment set up that everybody else got because I think
he moved in with her.
Yeah, it looks like it.
Yeah.
And it kind of looked like they were walking into the same place that everybody did.
I wonder if she just lived there anyways or something because she was like, let's not
put the suitcase on the bed.
Like, and she just seemed a little bit territorial about like her space.
Well, I mean, I would say that even if we were not in my place, like if it's any bed,
I'd be like, don't put the suitcase on the bed.
I was like, yay.
Thank you, Bliss, because that's disgusting.
Yeah.
You probably put your suitcase on your bed, don't you?
Yeah.
It's freaking gross.
You rolled that thing in the bathroom at the airport into the stall with you because you
have to where people like pee on the floor and like poop and like wipe it on the wall
and stuff and you put it on your bed.
No, I'm not done.
It's freaking really gross.
I'm trying to change your mind.
Okay, thank you.
Unless you like sanitize it every time, it's really still gross.
But okay, so he said to her, he was like, she was like, if you could meet anyone, like
ever, who would you meet?
And he was like, your parents.
And then he segued very nicely into that whole situation because she said that she wanted
to meet Oprah.
And he set himself up for success on that.
He did 100%.
Yeah.
And then she and then I guess he starts proposing to her and she's like, what are you doing?
What are you doing?
And I'm like, oh snap, she's going to say no.
I thought she was going to say no too.
This is so soon.
Yeah.
I mean, they lost out on at least a week if plus maybe another week.
Surely they kept hanging out.
I mean, I would think so.
We just didn't see it all.
But they lost a whole week of just connecting the two of them without being in the real
world, which also could be a reason for them to actually last longer because they didn't
have that.
And so, you know, the other couples, there were things that people got annoyed about
when it was just the two of them, you know, whatever.
So there's some outside distractions, but I think Bliss is definitely going to be extra
cautious about getting into a relationship with him and getting engaged.
Like I think she is not going to be flipping about it.
Of course.
Yeah.
Unless she just wants to be on the show.
That's the only thing.
I just don't get those vibes from her.
I don't.
But like I didn't get those vibes from some people before.
And then I got them later.
You know what I mean?
I don't know.
But yeah.
So her face was like definitely like she was going to say no.
And then she said yes.
WTF.
She doesn't have a whole lot of emotion behind her reactions.
Like she's a little monotone, very even keeled and, you know, not overly dramatic about anything,
whether it be, you know, happy, sad, angry, whatever.
Yeah, agreed.
I haven't seen her.
Yeah, I haven't really seen.
We haven't really seen her kind of get worked up about anything.
Right.
Which like she could have come with venom.
Waiting for it.
Yeah.
She could have come with venom to that lunch.
Yeah.
And she didn't.
And I was a little surprised about that, honestly.
Yeah.
Well, then after all that happened, Zach said, you know, it takes him a really long time
to make a decision on anything.
And sometimes it's like an impediment on him.
And I feel that same way sometimes.
And it's not necessarily like it's usually with food.
Like, what am I going to eat?
Can somebody else decide for me?
And I think that's because my mom always decided what I was going to eat when I was little.
No, listen, I could be at home and I could be starving and I'd be like, I'm just going
to order something real quick on DoorDash.
And then I get on there and I can't decide where I'm going to order from, what I'm going
to order.
Then I'll put a curate a cart and be like, Sarah, you are fucking ridiculous for about
to order a $40 lunch.
Like this is crazy.
Yes.
Same.
So then I end up eating something at home.
Same.
When I could have done it an hour and a half ago, like you just said.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's bad.
It's crazy.
Same way.
But like really in my head, I really didn't want to make anything.
But I could have made the stuff within 10 minutes and it would have been done.
I would have been done eating except for I had to go on my phone for an hour.
I figured out what I wanted.
But yeah.
Anything else about Zach and Bliss?
No, curious to see how it turns out.
I'm trying to put their names together as like a Benifer type of thing.
And I can't figure it out.
Like this or sounds like a Zs or a black.
I can't.
Yeah.
Yeah, there's not a really good way.
Black would be the best one.
Zs.
All right.
So let's move on to Kwame and Chelsea.
Oh, I'm so effing annoyed.
I'm annoyed with both of them, honestly.
So first of all, Chelsea is in her thirties, just like we are all pink everything.
OK, but it was it to me.
It was not that bad.
It was like a pink mixer and a pink coffee care egg to play after her blankie incident.
Well, she did say that her ex boyfriend, which how does this even happen?
Can I get this guy like he controlled how she decorated everything?
And I'm like, hell yeah.
Like if you're good at it, let's come on in here and fix myself.
He was good at it.
I mean, he could have been terrible at it and just wouldn't let her, you know, do her
thing or whatever.
So I mean, I empathize with that and her reasoning behind it.
But like, I just feel like she could have made more grown up choices as far as the color
of her appliances and stuff while still feeling liberated and being able to decorate by yourself.
Look, the pink doesn't bother me at all.
If it were my house, because I don't like I like all black everything.
Like literally my house is like black and gray and white and like maybe a splash of
color and green like plants.
And like this room is different.
But like, you know, but but really the curtains are gray.
I mean, yeah.
But that is I don't know.
I don't I don't see it.
It's not like she had like a bright pink couch and like throw pillows that were pink.
No, and I didn't think her bed was like super feminine.
I've seen way more feminine apartments than just a couple of not a couple of just a lot
of pink appliances.
Yeah, I don't know.
I just well, yeah, whatever.
So would you would that be a red flag to you if you went into?
I mean, if you were a guy and you went into a girl's apartment and she had a lot of pink,
would you be like, oh, I think it would be overwhelming for most dudes.
Why though?
It's just a color.
What if it was all red?
That's better than pink, honestly, as a grownup.
Why because they make it like a baby color.
Like I don't know.
It's just a preference.
I think it's just a lot to get like that many matching like appliances and countertop decor
pieces.
Yeah, that many.
Like of course, most people match like their stove in the refrigerator and stuff like that.
And like even your other appliances like a toaster oven, air fryer, you know, whatever.
Like Melanie has a teal air fryer.
It's really cute, but not everything in her kitchen is teal.
And did she buy the teal one because she liked the color or because it was on sale?
I'm pretty sure it was because the latter.
Just saying I would only buy a colored one if it was on sale.
And I would probably not keep it on the counter.
Yeah, so I don't know what else you think about them.
I thought that I was a little put off by her dad's reaction because I felt like she prepped
Kwame for this like disastrous meeting and conversation.
I missed that.
What did what did she do to kind of make him think?
Was she saying like, oh, I don't know what he's going to do?
Yeah.
I mean, he was kind of he was really, really nice about it, but he kind of was like, he
was.
I mean, you could tell in his face that he was a little surprised or whatever.
But like, I think she the way that I under and maybe it's just because we know her, you
know, a little bit more is that and she's a little dramatic and outspoken and whatever.
I think I thought that that was going to be her dad coming in here and reacting negatively
just because that's the way that she teed it up to happen.
I feel like he was he was my favorite because he was like he said, you know what I do like
it's a little interesting that you guys are you know, it was kind of quick, but like life
is too short and it you know, it's better if it's shared.
And I was like, he is wise.
Right.
Or not.
I mean, I don't know.
I guess that's an opinion.
But like, if you think about it, like you can't just wait your whole life.
And I think that maybe Zach, somebody said this later on.
I can't remember who it was said something about how like if you wait your entire I think
it was Zach whenever he was talking about if you keep waiting for the next best thing.
When I said the decision thing, it takes him a lot.
If you keep waiting for the next best thing, you're like never going to get it right.
And you're never going to get what you want.
And I think that that what his dad said was kind of cool.
But so hold on.
Let me go back.
Go back to the like the the appliance thing.
So we know she has like the pink stuff, but her house was very neat and tidy.
It was very neat and tidy.
And when she goes to his house, she is blown the hell away.
Yeah, he's messy as hell.
And he has no right to judge her pink appliances when his house looks like that.
No, I can definitely concur with that.
There were some random chopsticks on the coffee table.
He basically said, yes, I was just going to say that.
And also that how is that not overwhelming for anyone?
I mean, at least this is how I feel.
If I'm about to go out of town, I'm changing my sheets before I leave.
So I have fresh sheets when I come home.
I am making sure that everything is clean.
The trash is taken out.
What if something happens to you when you're gone and people have to come into your house
to like do something or to like, you know, I don't know if you die or like if your parents
have to come in there like you don't want like your dirty underwear on the floor and
like your toilet, your shower to be nasty.
Like I don't know.
That's just gross.
I mean, it was bizarre.
Like if I were him, I would have been busted my guts to get to that apartment before she
ever stepped foot in there.
Well, and they have all I believe that they have all been able to go back to their house
because they had to have gotten more clothes and stuff like that.
Yeah, because they did go from like warm weather or in the pods to being back in the Pacific
Northwest.
Yeah, I've thought about that.
And this has happened on other seasons as well where you go back and like the person's
place is messy.
And I'm like, why didn't you knew you were going here and they were going to come back
to your place?
Yeah.
Why?
But some people don't think about stuff like that.
I don't think they do either.
I mean, there was a random toothpaste in a box on the if they don't think about stuff
like that, I'm out.
Like oh no, because that means that I'm going to be the one that's cleaning the whole house
every time.
Oh, 100 percent.
Last night.
So we watched the national championship game.
I know this is off topic, but it's a little on topic.
And Victoria brought her dog over to watch the game.
And before she got there, when she texted and she said she was on her way over, I was
like, Brandon, is your bathroom clean for Victoria?
And he immediately got up and went in there and checked and made sure I think he put like
a thing or two away or whatever.
But like he keeps his bathroom clean because I'm not I'm not your maid and I'm not going
to clean it for you.
And you know that that's the bathroom that other people use.
And I know I keep my bathroom clean.
Yeah.
So I don't have to worry about it.
But I mean, I just can't imagine coming home to that, first of all.
And second of all, having anybody see my apartment look like that.
Yeah, especially on like enter.
I don't know if this international or what television.
Yeah.
National slash international television.
No.
And I kind of wonder why old they can't from home.
He could have been packing in between meetings.
He doesn't clean, honey.
I don't think he cleans.
And the way that his mom reacted to him on the phone, she probably cleans for him.
You know what I mean?
Did you watch the video that I sent you?
Which I know I sent it to.
OK, I have an announcement to make while we're talking about this, dude.
I need to send it to you.
I think it was a tick tock.
Kwame got spotted in the.
Oh, you did.
Are you sure?
I didn't understand what that was.
What was that?
Married at first sight, the show.
Yeah.
But when was that?
You said season 10.
When was season 10 of Mary?
I had no idea.
I was like, I didn't even know they had like season five.
I don't know.
We need to call in Jessica phone friend.
Are you sure that was him, though?
It could have been somebody else.
Yes.
I mean, it looked like him, but listen, I'm waiting for Jessica to watch Love is Blind,
so then she can watch that video and confirm.
So but when was that like I did not look at time?
I can't tell you.
Yes, I don't know.
It just sounds to me, even if you are only in attendance at like playing an extra or
whatever, or even if you had friends that were doing this, you want to be on TV.
Well, yeah, of course.
So Kwame never talked to his mom about it before, and then he called her and told her
and she was mad.
And I feel like their conversation was like too easy.
And it's like, oh, she's mad.
But he didn't react to her.
Like he was just like, like if my mom.
OK, so if I call my mom and was like, Mom, I found somebody that I, you know, which I'm
sure I don't know how my mom would react.
She'd probably be like, what the hell?
She would.
I don't know.
My parents would be like, is she they would probably go along with it because they would
know that I'm I think things through more than that.
Or they would think that I'm either that or they would think that I'm like, you need to
go to.
Yes.
Like the psych war.
Yeah.
Like, but he and if my mom started yelling at me on the phone and like disagreeing and
like saying all the stuff that apparently she said, I would I would lose it.
And I would be like, are you freaking kidding me?
Like, no, you don't get to talk to me like that.
That's not fair.
You're not even listening to me.
He was just like, OK, well, it may be a cultural thing.
Where is he from again?
I don't know.
Well, you remember he didn't want to introduce himself as Kwame.
He wanted to be called Alex.
Like that's how he said he was going to introduce himself.
Yeah.
So, I mean, it could be that he already has like his own insecurities within his culture
as is.
And then to have mama shit on it, you know, he could have just been defeated in the moment.
I don't know.
I just feel like I would be like, screw you, blah, blah, blah.
It would be excellent TV.
So like, cast me guys next time, even though you guys are going to be in Charlotte.
Sarah said they're going to be like they're casting for I think it's New York, Charlotte
and like somewhere else that's not anywhere near here.
And I because I found the thing where they're casting online and I was like, oh, Sarah,
I don't know where they're casting that.
I finally found where they were.
She was like, move to Charlotte.
And I'm like, no, no.
If you guys come to Birmingham, maybe they're never going to come to Birmingham.
I know, but they should.
It's never going to happen.
I know.
But how so how would your parents react if you did this like and you told them you were
engaged on this married that fast?
I I think that they would all have a problem with it.
But at the same time, I think that they would probably not be super surprised that I would
do something like that, because I think I'm probably the more wild card child who's going
to do something crazy.
Are you really?
Yeah.
Oh, more than Jerry.
Yeah, for sure.
But you're not really that wild card.
I mean, you haven't known me for that many years.
But I just feel like you plan things out very you're like a very plan plan plan.
I mean, I do it much more so than I used to.
OK, yeah.
But I mean, I think that I've made some questionable decisions in my life.
And so that's why I would make it less surprising.
What bullshit is Sarah up to now?
Well, would they have would you have like a cousin intervention call?
Like do you think your cousins would have like a they would create their own text chat
without you so that they can have an intervention on you and then Grana?
How do you think Grana would feel her grandma?
Grana, we went and visited her over the weekend and I love her.
She's so cute and she's 90 and she's like amazing.
She's getting around, she lives alone in the freaking woods with an alligator in her pond.
Oh, man.
That's not true.
Well, it's not there anymore.
I think Grana would be the least surprised because out of everybody like you got to think
about it.
Yes, I live down here and I have for the last 15 years of my life.
But so that means that like there have been people that I've definitely dated that my
mom has never met because she's not down here.
So and I will bring somebody to Grana's house before I will bring them to my dad's house.
Really?
A lot of times.
Yeah.
Why?
Because I know that Grana loves me and she is the most accepting human in the whole entire
world.
She may not agree with me, but she's not going to have this.
No.
Yeah, like what she told me, she told you, were you sitting there whenever she said she
was like, you know, I decided a long time ago that I'm going to accept them all her
seven granddaughters, I guess, right, as they are, because she is like, it's better to have
them.
If you don't do that, you're going to lose them.
If you don't want to have them, then don't accept them.
Right.
And I think that's amazing.
And she's I've had some very funky phone calls with Grana before.
And she has, you know, knows things about me that other people don't.
Let's get back on to the love is blind.
Yes.
Talking about pool snacks later.
OK, so OK, so we talked about Kwame's mom.
Oh, Chelsea's dog is really cute, though.
His name is Rocky.
Kind of like very cute.
A little bit.
He does look like cricket.
He's very cute and he looks like he is very well behaved.
He does.
And he was sleeping one day and he was Kwame was like, your man is out.
And she was like, yeah, you're going to be going to bed at eight p.m. together.
Oh, but then OK, so OK, so Kwame and Chelsea have a conversation about like having kids
later or having kids or whatever.
And Kwame brought up the fact that she has a dog.
She has a small dog.
And he said it makes it hard for her to get up and go because she has a small dog.
Like what?
I think that is not hard.
I just get a dog sitter.
Well, I think what he means is he doesn't want kids.
Well, I think that is what it sounds like to me.
And I think the other part of it is that it isn't easy to just get up and go when you have
a dog.
You have to go through the process of getting a dog sitter or dropping them to be boarded
at the vet.
Nobody gets up and goes that fast on like trips like that.
Like you can literally get a dog sitter like in one second.
I mean, I agree and I disagree all at the same time, because I think a dog is not near
the capacity of like having a child and being able to get up and go like that's very, very
different.
Yeah, but Chelsea was saying that she was like, I mean, we can take a kid anywhere.
Like you can't take a dog everywhere.
Right.
But you can take a kid, you can put it in a sling or whatever and just take it on your
trip with you.
Well, and I disagree with that.
If I'm going on it.
But I mean, I don't want to either, but that's what people you can.
100%.
You can do that.
100%.
You can take a kid.
You can't take a dog.
I mean, you can do whatever you decide to do within a partnership.
It just sounded like he was trying to come up with excuses and a little bit paint like
a bigger picture of why maybe they shouldn't add children to their partner.
I feel like he's trying to push her away.
So she'll say no.
Maybe that's fair.
I don't know.
That's fair.
Cause I mean, having a dog for, I mean, I'm very spoiled.
I take her either she stays with Brandon or she goes to my parents' house.
You know, if I go out of town or whatever and I, you know, that's very easy for me to
schedule.
So it's not something that I really have to think that hard about.
It's I don't know.
It's just, I don't think it's that big of a deal.
I don't either.
I like, that's why I was like, why would he bring like, no, she has one dog and it's a
small dog.
Yeah.
Like it's not like they can't.
He also seems older and he's like chill and he's just going to like hang out.
Yeah.
And the conversation that they were having about kids made it sound like they have enough
money to like be able to board a dog.
Like you, it's not like you're, you know, struggling for money and you're not going
to be able to do that.
If you have a kid and if you can't afford your dog and you're thinking about having
kids and there's a problem.
Yeah.
But I think when people talk about travel in that, you know, respect, they mean like
foreign country travel and that's right.
Like that's how I took it.
And that is, you know, you can't really get up and go foreign travel really anyways.
Like you still have to pack and like get a flight and like, you can't just like show
up at the airport.
I mean, I think you're right from the jump.
Nobody is getting up and going that quick.
Right.
But I mean, that is also, but I guess we also have to think about it maybe from a female
perspective and he's not a female.
Maybe he really does live his life like that.
And that's, you know, fine.
And Dandy, you and I would never be those people, but maybe he does.
Who knows?
Yeah.
I mean, I think it's a lot easier for dudes to get up and go because they don't give a
shit as much as we do.
Oh, and then she asked him if he wanted to settle down and I don't remember what his
response was.
And I remember seeing that in the preview and feeling like there was a long pause from
him and that he, you know, I think is going to do anything to evade the question and,
you know, give some semblance of an answer to appease her all the while not really wanting
to settle down.
Yeah.
I don't think he does.
And I, and then up towards the end, he started talking to other people about he was the one
that was going to compromise the most because he was going to have to give up his place
to move in with her.
I guess I can't remember if that's where he was moving or whatever.
Yeah, because he lives in Portland, Oregon and she's in Seattle.
And so it's like a three hour drive, I think they said, and she has an in office job and
he works remote.
So it would make the most sense for him to be the one to compromise as far as location
goes.
But location isn't the only compromise in the world to make.
Right.
I mean, if she marries him knowing that he doesn't want to have children, she's compromising
that as well and that's a hell of a lot bigger deal than moving somewhere.
Right.
Exactly.
Yeah.
That's, yeah, that's a huge deal.
I think, I don't think they're getting married.
I don't think they're going to get married.
I think that if she, I think-
Who do you think is going to say no?
So I'm a little, I think that Kwame, if they ask Chelsea first, I think that she should
say no.
And I think she's kind of smart enough.
I think she, I honestly think she might say no, but if anybody said yes, it would be her.
And I think that he would say no for sure.
I'm just wondering if she's sort of like a wolf in sheep's clothing and if she also wants
to be on TV and is like playing it all out and then going to say no at the very end just
for the clout.
She doesn't seem that way to me, but he does.
Yeah.
I don't like him.
But I mean, honestly, I think, I don't know if any of them, you can't, sometimes you can't
know.
But the ones that like don't have their parents either approval or participation, like first
of all, what kind of relationship do you have with them?
A lot of people don't have good relationships with their parents like we do.
It's wild.
There are so many people that-
Like that would weird me out.
That would make me think that you're only on this show to be on TV and you haven't formed
your parents about anything.
And that's why their reaction is what it is.
Well, yeah, of course.
Yeah.
Cause they're going to be like, I don't know what you're doing.
You're a dumb ass.
Get off my phone.
I'm not doing this with you.
I'm not going on national television for any of this crap.
Oh no.
My parents would be like, my mom would never do it.
She would probably like, that's, that would be the hardest part for me.
If I were to try to do that show is trying to get my parents to be on the television,
on TV to do that.
Like, and my brothers would be like, hell no.
They would not.
I'd be like having to pay them or something.
Do they get paid?
I don't know.
Probably not.
But yeah.
So anything else about Kwame and Chelsea?
What do you think?
No, I'm over it.
Oh man.
Lord have mercy.
I feel like I have so much more to say still, but like, I think it's, it's, it's time to,
well, we're going to have another, we're going to have to have around three of those.
It's fine.
Oh, well we will because Friday, we're going to have like several.
Yeah.
Um, so yeah, to be continued.
Yeah.
