Summary

Bachelor in Paradise is BACK with sexy new cameras, fresh format twists, and a HUGE change... no more “Almost Paradise” theme song?! Wells is sharing all the behind-the-scenes from his return as the Bartender this season. Good Morning America might not have remembered his name, but after this season’s BIP interviews… no one will forget him!

Today is a special one because not only is Brandi in town recording from Wells’ new Masters-themed studio, but Wells’ mom is also visiting and getting her first taste of ChatGPT — aka “Smarty Pants,” the 14-year-old AI boy who is way too friendly.

We also get Wells' take on things we should and shouldn’t be taught to worry about and a certain 2025 phrase that must be stopped! They’ve even got some favorite things, bros! Brandi finished The Better Sister, started We Were Liars, and Wells’ stepdad discovered a sleeper classic called Tortilla Soup.

And the cherry on top? We’re blessed with a sneak peek of Brandi’s remix of Kelsea Ballerini’s song, Penthouse.

It's so funny for parents, they raised you and they taught you everything and then they get to this age where they can't do anything. The rolls reverse. They do. Wild. It's crazy. Your parents, like the role is reversed and like parents turn them back into children as they get older. Yes. Yes. And then we're going to do that. I know. It's going to. It's probably already happening to me. Oh, it's definitely happening to me. Yeah. Especially with the technology. You have to go in it with a little bit of grace because you know it's just coming down the pike for you. Yep. But I taught them chat GPT. Oh, you did. My mom, first of all, she's like, chat, it would be GPT. She can't remember the name, which is fine, whatever. But like I showed her how to put it like on the slide down home screen. Yep. And then you can get three different of the icons.
0:55.5	And then the one that I have is the voice one.
0:57.3	So then it just talks to you. Look, I'll just do it right now. What voice do you have on your chat, GPT? So I can't change the voice. I try to change the voice. Because there's a bunch of different ones. Well, I don't know how to do that. but hey what's your name?

1:30.8	I can't do impressions.
1:32.1	Okay.
