What's up everybody and welcome to another episode of Bachelor Happy Hour.

I'm Rachel and I'm here with Ali who's on the phone today. What's up, Ali?

Hey, Rage. Yes, I'm home with my little kiddos. I just wanted to call in.

Okay, before we get into the podcast today, we have some Bachelor Happy Hour business to get into.

So, Ali, I'll let you kick it off.

Yes, so I just wanted to let all of you guys know. Well, first and foremost, I just want to say that

I had so much fun recapping on Bachelor in Paradise with you, Rachel, through, you know,

through the season. And I think that I just realized lately and anyone out there who's listening

can relate to having too much on their plate. And I just kind of realized that I was so stressed,

so often, and that's not okay. And I realized something had to give. Like, when I was preparing

for the finale, even a Bachelor in Paradise, Molly was coming into my office saying, like,

Mommy, Mommy, will you come play with me? And I was like, honey, I'm sorry, I have to watch this.

And I just realized that I have so much going on right now and so much of my play. And as much as I

want to keep doing the podcast and love it so much, I know that sometimes you have to give up

things that are really fun. So I'm going to pass the baton over to you, Rachel. And I know you're

going to do amazing things with this podcast. Oh, Ali, I really appreciate you taking the time to

call in and explain it to me and to our listeners because I know that they're going to want to know

what happened to Ali. And I just truly have so much respect for you for stepping away from

something that you love to do to spend time with your family. Well, thank you so much, Rachel.

And right back at you, I know you're going to kill it. I'm going to listen every single week and

hear all the guests that you have. And, you know, even though I won't be in there with you in the

in the studio, I will be watching. I will be a Bachelor's super fan and I will be rooting you on.
