lovely brain funny witty wife wife you said it a little nicer well it feels genuine it does join by my

and you cannot find it mother of my child mother of my child oh my god just rolls off the tongue. At least he does love those things about you, you know, that they stick out. I mean, I guess. And when I'm not hot anymore, I'm guessing he will leave me for someone who is hot. It's a podcast. You're telling the people who can't see me that I'm hot. Okay. Everyone knows you're funny. For sure. That's what it was. In case you're listening, Natalie is very beautiful, sexy, and hot. Yeah. Yeah. And she's inspiring. Hotful. Smart. She's thoughtful. Magnetic. Magnetic. Oh, my God. That was a good one. Also, Susie Evans returns to the household today. Hello, hello. Glad to be back. Well, it's happened. Taylor Frankie Paul is your next bachelorette. You are welcome Bachelor Nation. You're welcome ABC. People, your haters are trying to say that you have an inside source and that's the only reason that you got it right. What do you mean? It was literally my idea three months ago. I gave him the idea. I feel like he's the source. I am the source. What do you mean? I am. The call is coming from inside the house. ABC has an inside source. It's called Nick Vial. Literally. Yeah. Do you not see his comment? They asked Nick. They literally are watching the ballwows. They had the idea on their own and then someone called me up just to be like, just so you know, three months ago, by the way.

You should say this. Like, I'm pretty sure Taylor, Frankie Paul was like in the midst of filming season three three months ago and The Bachelorette was not on her radar. Yeah, Bachelorette was literally canceled. They were like, we're not doing this again.

Nick was like, this will save the franchise. If you guys want to do it, you should. You should. And he's 100% right because I'm like even seeing the comments going around about it. Everyone's like, I haven't watched it. I don't know how long and this will get me to watch. It's lit. Maybe I know a little bit about this world. I don't know. producing, creating.

You know.

It's going to be great.

It's going. Maybe I know a little bit about this world. I don't know. Producing. Maybe.
