Hello and welcome to the Bachelor podcast. I'm Charlene and I'm Derek. I couldn't go first because that's always case position. So I mean that feminine energy to start off.

Exactly. I know my place. Okay, Charlene in this room in this office. I got promoted really fast around here. It's a low bar for us here. Happy Thanksgiving.

You too. Okay, you can't say that. I said it very considering what we were just talking about before them. Yeah. Yeah. Well, because the office I'm told is very empty today. Yeah. So for those I it's really unfortunate to announce to those who don't know Charlene. She is Canadian. And so I never think about this growing up in like the Midwest. There's it's all everyone's just from Iowa. Yeah. So like the idea that there was a Canadian Thanksgiving and an American Thanksgiving. Like that's just not so.

I hate to burst her bubble there. But I'm pretty sure that Canadian Thanksgiving was first really. Yeah, it existed first. Okay. Yeah. Everybody's first recorded fact check Charlene and just go and flood her Instagram and tell her how wrong she is all right. The only reason I know this is because I did a post for Canadian Thanksgiving in October when Thanksgiving should be.

Because what two major holidays right next to each other. I will say it's like starting to get cold now. I've. But I you know about Halloween a lot of people celebrate Halloween really crazy. Yes. Yeah. But I mean, I just feel like it's we you have Christmas and things even they're so close together. It's just like it's too much too much holidays. It is a lot. And the whole like everyone just sort of shuts down after Thanksgiving and I think it's designed though to just the senioritis to the year every single year. Yes. But so I did this.

Can this post for Canadian Thanksgiving and I did a lot of reason.

Really embarrassing to say out loud. I'm zero percent surprised that you did research. Well, I just thought I was like I was like a little share some facts and then I really

said I knew almost no. So I like went down a rabbit hole of googling it and then discovered. Mm hmm. By chance on Wikipedia. Most reliable source. I didn't even put that on Instagram. I filed that information away for this moment.

Just for this podcast. Well, thanks for joining us today. K is out as you can tell. But Charlene, one of my best bachelor friends is here to just talk about some of the latest things that have been going on.

And then I'm going to actually interview you about a lot of the things that we never actually talk about because it's so funny. I feel like Charlene and I just normally talk about normal life. Yeah.

We've really like never gone down the bachelor discussion. Yeah. So this is actually going to be very first time fresh interview hard hitting questions. Yeah.

Charlene, introduce yourself in a little bit why people might know you. Oh, okay. My the way I have gathered I am known is for being the opera singer. That's true.

Bachelor because there weren't there's only one other on one Pablo season. Yes, from one public season. But even if I just say opera singer like that. That's more memorable to them.

Then they're like, wait, which bachelor, you know, was it was there? And then I say one problem. They're like, oh, yeah, exactly. Was there was a guy that was an opera singer? Yes, the season after my was Andy season. Bradley.

Bradley something. Bradley has apparently was he was he sang all the time and yeah, I went hard on him in my recaps. Yeah, I'm sure I was as as you should. Yeah, yeah, exactly.

I feel like anytime somebody sings, they get it good because this like not you're asking for it. You've got like crappy mics. And it's not unless you're perfect.

Everybody is going to judge the. Yeah, yeah, even if you sing amazingly, it's still, you know, all wrong reasons. Of course. Yeah. So yeah, opera singer and also I it's not that crazy anymore. But at the time it was deemed fairly crazy. I was the one that left. Yes, I we're going to get into that. I definitely think that's unique. And I don't I think that's kind of change.

Definitely. Yeah, we'll get that. Good intro. That's Charlie everybody. I was feeling there's going to be a lot of tangents today. Of course, that's how this that's how this podcast is. So we don't we're not like here's our structure. We're going to go one thing after another feel free. This is just like you and I talking just like normal.

We're just we're at a bar right now, not in a room full of pink and memes.

paraphernalia. Mm hmm. Okay. Bachelor T what's been going on. So we were talking earlier about Hannah winning dancing with the stars. Yeah, which is amazing. Yeah.

I've never really watched it.

Right before we serve. I wasn't sure if you're going to admit that because right before we start recording, I was like, I have not seen a single.
