You know what I miss? I miss the funny face, Justin.

Oh, you want more funny faces. I want to put a little bit of Hakeem into Justin and less of Hakeem into Hakeem.

Dear Shandy.

Welcome back to a brand new Dear Shandy Bachelor in Paradise Recap listeners. Hello, Andy. Hello. How are you? We're back. We are. It's been a minute. We have been out of paradise for a long time. I know. And Paradise is now a different paradise. Shall we? Okay. No, no, no. First, we're going to do housekeeping and then we're going to talk about the show. Keep the house. Let's do it. Yes, we have to keep the house. Do we have any housekeeping? I don't think so. Really? I should have talked about that before we sat down. Surely there's something. Wait, that's something we should really work on. We need to have new stuff going on.

No, we have stuff.

You're not singing.

Oh, my God, the mouse.

Oh, my God.

Is that amazing? Oh, my God. He's just hanging out. Yeah, he just, look. Where's he going? I don't know. He goes all over the place. Ruby doesn't give a shit. She's eating her con. Okay, so for our listeners, literally we have a mouse that is so relaxed in our apartment.

Like you would think that he would be a little more afraid of us. There are been times when I've been sitting on the couch, like I'm maybe watching TV or just reading. And he'll come around and just sit there. And I honestly feel like I could almost pet it.

And the best is Ruby will be hanging out and she'll totally watch and go by and just be like keep sleeping. Yeah, her eyebrows. She's like this. She's like, hmm. And here's the thing. We've tried, we've tried to close off every single hole. We've done a lot of cleaning, getting rid of crumbs and food and stuff. I think we have to do a trap next, but we'll do a humane one. We're not doing traps. I'm just letting whatever nature has chosen for our apartment. Oh, yeah? That is the way it will be. So are we gradually getting another pet? Yeah, we have a pet now. I will say he is a very cute mouse. He's super cute. This is the problem when animal lovers have a mouse, they're just sort of like, oh.

A mouse is cute and the mouse lives here now, and that's it.

We've done everything we can.

The mouse is beaten us, and there comes a point where you have to accept defeat.

I feel like non-New Yorkers are going to listen to this and be absolutely horrified by us right now.

Probably.

We probably sound really dirty.

No, it's New York. It is. It's New York. I swear we're like, we're constantly cleaning. There's no crumbs to be found. There's no room. There's too many mice, not enough spaces for them to live. Yeah. And so, you know, we've taken in, you know, Jesus would have said this is okay. Jesus. Yeah, Jesus would have said, taken, you know, the bedraggled, this is not from the Bible. I don't know what this is from, but Jesus said, take in, you know, people who are having a rough go. Animals, too. Yeah. And this mouse clearly is having a hard time on the outside. Is that it for housekeeping? Is that what we have? Actually, it seems like we are not doing housekeeping. That is the problem.

Well, we have a paradise season to get to, Andy. We do. We do. Season, guess what season this is.

Let's see if you know.

Nine.

Very close.
