Here's your host, Blake Horsman.

Hello, everyone, and welcome to another episode of Behind the Rose podcast.

I'm your host, Blake Horsman, here with my buddy as usual. Eric Bradley, and it is Tuesday right after episode four and five of Bachelor in Paradise. We're going to recap that for you. But also, guys, stick around. We got an amazing episode with George Birch coming up after this. It's a great conversation. You guys are going to love it.

But before that, like I said, we're going to get into the recap. We got a lot to cover here. We got a lot to cover. I just got done with a fantasy draft. I thought this was the Fantasy Freaks podcast. I thought we were going to go over my draft picks. Did you really? I haven't done it in fantasy football in a long time. Yeah, I did my first of six, first of six drafts tonight.

You're in six leagues? I haven't done in fantasy football in a long time. Yeah, I did my first of six, first of six drafts tonight. You're in six leagues? I am. I have a, I'm a bit of a degenerate. I have a gambling problem. Dude, I don't think I've ever played six seasons in my life. Wow. That's almost too much. How do you keep them track of them? That's crazy. I don't know. Yeah, Especially now when we're busy as fuck, dude. We're going to be out on the road and you're going to be backstage working on your fantasy line up Saturday nights.

Like we are a very pro set. The show itself. like don't watch a show that is literally about dating and fucking casually if you can't handle it. Like, don't watch the show then. So that gets me all riled up, man. I'm all fucking riled up because it happened to me too. So I know exactly what it's like, man, it's brutal. Yeah. I feel bad for him. And the other thing, obviously, I know my DMs get fucking flooded all the time about why don't you ask Blake questions?

Why don't you do this?

Why don't you do that?
