Welcome back. Clickbait listeners. My name is Eric Clancy. I'm joined in with my co-host Jill and Marie. Joe is out today. It's actually his birthday. So happy birthday, Joe. This is the first ever clickbait episode.

He hasn't been a part of it, but he's somewhere better having a ton of fun. He's in a better place. Love that.

We have a fantastic episode for you today. There's a ton of happening in Bachelord Nation. We as always we have our clickbait of the week.

Our Bachelord Nation breakdown and we're joined by our guests. Dean and Kaylyn. Absolute legends here in Bachelord Nation. So super excited for that. There's a lot happening.

Jill, Marie, how's it going? Super excited to be here with you guys. It's been a while.

I'm excited. Yeah. You're really sick, right? Yeah. I'm still a little under the weather. I don't know if you can see here in my voice, but get it over at getting better. So hoping this clears up before my birthday this weekend.

Oh my god. Happy birthday. Happy birthday. I'm the living season. Yeah. It's my birthday too.

Oh my god. Yeah. All right. Time to get into our Bachelord Nation breakdown this week. We've got a lot going on this week that we've got to talk about. But first let's catch up with our host, Erin. How we doing?

I'm doing good. I'm actually better than ever. I don't know if you saw on the socials, but I just hard-launched my relationship. Last pod. Thank you. Thank you.

Last last pod. I did let everyone know I was seeing song, which was a big stat for me, you know, because the world can be a kind of an evil brutal place when it comes to this kind of thing.

But I officially hard-launched her. So now she's exposed to all of that brutal evilness. So that's great. Right. How is she handling it, Erin? Has that been mostly positive feedback I'm assuming?

Yeah. So actually that was amazing. It was 100% exclusively positive. There was so, so much love. I'm super glad I did it. You know, it's a big piece of my life and obviously, you know, with all the fans and whatnot.

I feel like there's an obligation to kind of let them know what's going on with you. They're all invested. Yeah. And they love her. She's awesome. And I'm happy that I've ever been so dense. Amazing.

Oh, that's great. Well, how did you guys meet? Give us the tea. Tell us the story. I love a love story.

Well, the story is a little bit more complicated, but we've agreed on a fake story. And it's friends of a friend. And that's it.

Friends of friends of a team like, why now I have more questions. If anything, you shouldn't have mentioned the fake story part.

Because now I'm like, what is the real story? Oh, yeah. I'll have to tell you. I'll tell you off the podcast. Yeah. Yeah. Just friend to friend. Right. Yeah.

I'm okay. No, no, no, no apps were involved. No apps. Yeah. No apps. No dating apps. Nothing like that was really authentic.

You know, there were no roses involved either. You know, we love them.

No, but it was great. Hulsam, Hulsam. You know, you guys have been proud of me for sure. I mean, obviously, yeah, if it's Aaron, it's got to be wholesome. We know that.

Oh, come on now. Okay. The way you just said that implied the opposite. Okay. So did you just get a girlfriend because James got a girlfriend?

So that was the actual reason I started looking for someone to see. I just wanted someone to hang out with.
