0:08.8

the man of the hour. The bachelor Clayton is here and Mike the conversation is so good that we're

0:15.3

going to split this up into two parts. So what we're going to get into now is hot takes followed by

0:21.9

part one of this fabulous interview with Clayton. That's good. Only three episodes in. We already

0:27.3

got this drama. So let's do it. What the hell seriously tons of drama and I want to start with
