Hello, hi, good morning. Clickbait nation. Oh, clickbait nation. That's gonna fun, but it's really like the invaders.

It is Tasia here with Joe and Natasha. You guys, we have a really fun episode coming at you this morning. We are obviously talking about the bachelor nation breakdown, all the hottest things that's happening within our little franchise here.

As well as the clickbait of the week that talks about a guy fighting his feelings for you or not. And we also have Jared coming on the podcast today.

He is one of my favorite people from bachelor nation, just so kind. Also has been such a hot commodity in his own. So let's just bring it all down.

Shall we? Let's get into it. Let's go. Maybe let's go. Oh, right. So a first thing first, which is. I'm really happy that we're starting the segment with this today.

Matt has released his statement just regarding everything that has just been going on these past couple of weeks, which I feel so bad for him because I feel like it is a lot coming at him.

I know the feeling of just people going 100 miles an hour with all the like the news, all the speculations dissecting every single movie you make on this show.

And so I feel like I'm so happy that he was able to have some time to, I don't know, just release a statement with everything that's transpired.

But he has said some really, really, really inspiring words. Did you guys read all that?

Yes. Yes. I read it. If you're listening and you haven't check out Matt James's Instagram page, he posted a statement.

I think it was great. I think I liked everything he said. I think it made a lot of sense. I think it sounded very honest.

I know like people are like, oh, it was about time he made a statement and yada, yada, yada.

And it's just like everybody works at their own pace. You don't know what's going on behind the scenes. You don't know exactly how he feels.

So let the guy breathe and do what he's got to do. At the end of the day, this is a show where you're trying to find someone that you're going to end up with.

That's still what the show is about. I mean, it's a show to y'all. But it's someone's real life. I don't think people are realizing that.

It's a lot of people's real life. Yes. At the end of the day, it's a TV show. I get that there's cameras, there's my people, all that kind of stuff. But it is also very real.

You're finding a real love. You know what I mean? You're trying to find your person. So there's a lot coming at you as being a lead.

Yeah. I do think that there's a lot of people who are saying a lot of different things. And now that everyone's kind of said their piece, it's kind of like he's the, you know, everyone's been waiting to hear from him.

But, you know, I think it's proper that he waited till everyone was done kind of paying their piece. And now I can speak and like let this be the end of it. If that makes sense.

Not, I don't want to say the end of it. But he said his piece and it wasn't premature. That's what I'm trying to say.

I think he had time to digest, of course, the unfortunate thing that happened with Chris Harrison. And, you know, he had time to digest Rachel's apology and all these different things. He's had time to really digest it.

And so the apology seemed very sincere. You know, he addressed Rachel Lindsay and Rachel, you know, she had time to reiterate and say how she was feeling so many things.
