Love Is Blind 7x8

1. - I have a question about our wedding. What do you have?

2. How involved do you wanna be with, like, the wedding?

3. Very involved.

4. Mm-hmm.

5. I do wanna make some decisions on, like, you know,

6. just flowers and food and cake.

7. I welcome your opinions. I really do.

8. "I welcome your opinions on our wedding?" What—

9. - "I welcome your opinions." - Yeah, our, hers, theirs.

10. You know, this is like every girl's dream.

11. So, it's like, you gotta, like, be cocounsel.

12. You can't be the main. I'm sorry.

13. Just for this.

14. Okay, I get to choose our kid's name.

15. - Nah. All right, middle name. - You can be cocounsel.

16. No!

17. Okay, the boy.

18. - Deal. - Love that.

19. Oh, my gosh! This is so cool!

20. I thought you'd like that.

21. I get it 'cause of the flowers.

22. - Hey, guys. How's it going? - Hi. Good. How are you?

23. I'm doing great. I'm Hailey.

24. And I'm here to teach you a pressed flower workshop.

25. - Shut up! Oh my God, I'm so excited. - Oh!

26. - So, yeah. We'll set up over here. - Cool.

27. I can't just give her flowers now at this point.

28. I gotta do a little bit better.

29. I am so excited.

30. I figured because, you know,

31. I kind of forgot about the flower thing,

32. but these are gonna last forever.

33. - Thanks, babe! - Yeah.

34. - Have you tried pressing flowers? - No.

35. - That's what we're doing? - Mm-hmm.

36. You can take a sentimental flower, like a wedding bouquet,

37. and you can preserve those memories forever.

38. I'm so excited.

39. The tweezers are there to help handle the flowers.

40. - Cool. What's this for? - That would be for gluing.

41. Okay, got it.

42. Ooh! This one's pretty.

43. I'm about to go overboard with this glue. I know I am.

44. That looks like a perfect amount.

45. I'm used to gluing, like, little models.

46. When you say little models, I don't know if people know what that means.

47. - Do you? - Little plastic models.

48. - I actually do. I play D&D as well. - You do?

49. He's very into it.

50. It's fun.

51. Ooh!

52. Wow. It's so pretty!

53. It's not a competition, but if it was, Hailey?

54. - Which one, Hailey? Which one? - I can't choose a favorite!

55. - I like your color scheme better. - Fuck!

56. But I do like how you've balanced your colors out across the whole frame.

57. I feel like you voted for his.

58. I'm used to winning the participation trophy in a lot of…

59. Your participation trophy is a beautiful piece of art.

60. - Yes, it is. - Thank you.

61. - I love it. - Thank you so much.

62. - Yeah, this has been awesome. So cool. - It's been awesome.

63. I think that mine's prettier.

64. You know what? You're right.

65. - Thank you. - You're right.

66. - So cool. Yours looks so good. - Yeah? Thank you.

67. I'm jealous, by the way.

68. Flowers are nice, yes.

69. But I'm sure there are people that are like,

70. "If I do this, I'm gonna get laid. Cool."

71. That is a great perk. I mean, let's be honest.

72. If you do something right and you get rewarded with sex, like…

73. Did I tell you? This morning, I did my Pilates class with Taylor.

74. How are her and Garrett doing?

75. Great. Taylor's dad is being similar to my dad.

76. Really?

77. Yeah, like, he doesn't wanna film,

78. but he's, like, kind of a step further of like…

79. You know, my dad's like, "I really don't wanna be on camera,

80. but I'll walk you down the aisle."

81. Seems like it's not out of a lack of support.

82. - He can't wait to meet you. - Yeah.

83. Part of him is like, "Can't wait to meet this guy."

84. "It sounds like he has a good head on his shoulders."

85. But the more important thing is, like, "Do you love my daughter?"

86. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

87. My dad's also whispered to me a couple times on the phone.

88. He's been like, "How do you know he's not a liar like your last boyfriend?"

89. "How do you know this guy's not a liar?"

90. That's funny.

91. How are you feeling?

92. I am excited to prove to him that this is genuine.

93. I feel relaxed for the first time in a while.

94. I feel like this is where I'm supposed to be right now.

95. Cheersing to…

96. A good date?

97. A great date and these flowers being in our new home forever.

98. - I love you. - 'Cause they're gonna last.

99. Yum.

100. Eww! No, just kidding.

101. - You're nervous. I can tell. I'm not nervous. More excited.

102. You're gonna see a bunch of cute pictures.

103. You're gonna see my baby cheeks.

104. - They were so fat. - Your parents.

105. They're not here.

106. - Welcome. - Hi.

107. Living with my parents could be seen as a negative maybe to some people,

108. but I told Hannah from the jump, this is where I'm living now.

109. Lots of pictures.

110. Yeah.

111. You know who that is, right?

112. - Is that you? - That's me.

113. You were cute.

114. - Told you I had fat cheeks. - Yeah.

115. I was on that football journey until a couple years ago,

116. so it didn't really make sense for me

117. to rent my own place and pay rent while I'm gone.

118. Who are these people?

119. - That's my parents on their wedding day. - Oh, really?

120. Yep. My dad was a stud, right? So was my mom.

121. The fact that I have a really cool spot where my parents are still at,

122. they like the fact that I'm here.

123. If you wanna, you know, think it's embarrassing, that's fine.

124. I don't. I love my parents. I love my space. So it's good with me.

125. - All right, show me around, man. - Come on.

126. - You really are so Catholic. - Yeah.

127. This is where my mom works, like, at this computer 24/7.

128. - Lawyer at work. She loves Jesus. - Yeah.

129. Uh-huh.

130. - Does she know I'm not religious? - No.

131. - Will she care, you think? - No.

132. As long as she sees good values in you, that's all that matters.

133. It's nice in here. So who cooks? Does your family cook for you?

134. - Or do you cook for your family? - My mom usually cooks.

135. But lately my parents have been like, "Make a meal for us."

136. - Interesting. You wanna say hi to Peeka?

137. Is she a scaredy-cat?

138. Yeah, she's a scaredy-cat. That's your new mommy.

139. Hi, Peeka! Is that your Peeka's food and water?

140. Yeah.

141. Are you feeding Peeka or is your dad?

142. My dad feeds Peeka in the morning.

143. - I can't get up that early for her. - Nick, come on, you're 28!

144. - My room is here. - You lived in the basement?

145. - This is my old room. - This was your childhood room?

146. Yeah. Check this out.

147. - Have you read those books? - I read all of them.

148. - Whoa! - For school or whatever.

149. I actually have a lot of my clothes in here too.

150. This was, like, my letterman for my football.

151. You know, I got, like, a couple jerseys and stuff like that.

152. And then look, this is my height chart, and that's 11.

153. That's the last time I did it.

154. I haven't grown much since then. That's cute, right?

155. - When did you stop growing? - Uh, probably like 21, 20.

156. Now you ready to go check out the nitty-gritty?

157. - Oh, okay. - Right in here.

158. - Big boy's room. - Yep, big boy's room.

159. - Welcome to the dungeon. - It's big.

160. You don't wanna, check and see, like, rummage through it?

161. Oh, no, I have a feeling your mom cleaned it before I got here.

162. Nah, she didn't clean this space. I cleaned it before I left.

163. But I always keep it clean.

164. But then, yeah, this is, like, my little living room space.

165. - That's where I do my work, over here. - Got an office.

166. When you need someone to call, Nick Dorka, Rice Properties Group.

167. - Keep it, all right? - Yeah.

168. In case you need a realtor, you know who to call.

169. - I thought you were buying a house, Nick. - I'm saying…

170. Yeah.

171. And this is Buffy. This is my first stuffed animal.

172. This is Buffy.

173. Okay.

174. Is this your closet? What's this?

175. - There's a pool table in there. - The pool table?

176. Yeah, but we just keep a bunch of shit in there. Yeah.

177. Nick, you were like, "I got a pool table in my crib."

178. - Exactly. - With storage on top.

179. Yeah, with storage on top.

180. My dad and I though, we used to come down here every day and play.

181. - Oh, yeah? - It wasn't this messy.

182. And this is where the magic happens.

183. - Yeah? - The magic that doesn't happen.

184. "Mom, Dad, shh!"

185. "I'm bringing a girl home tonight."

186. It is odd, right?

187. Like, I haven't had girlfriends that I bring over to the house, right?

188. You're the third person who's ever kind of seen this space.

189. But, um, I feel like this didn't go too bad.

190. It's nerve-racking.

191. I might be a little bit nervous, but I'm at the point with you,

192. where you accept me for who I am.

193. No, it's nice.

194. But you were talking about, "I got a pool table."

195. I was expecting this, like… I was expecting, like, a man's den.

196. I was expecting, like, the pool table in the center and the liquor on the wall.

197. - Liquor on the wall. - Yeah.

198. - Nah, the liquor's upstairs. - I wish you were handier.

199. Should've picked a different guy, babe.

200. Can't mount a TV. Did you hang up that mirror?

201. Yeah, I helped my dad hang that. Yeah. It was two. I actually did.

202. How long have you lived in the basement?

203. Probably, like, the last two years.

204. - Where'd you live before that? Upstairs? - Yeah, yeah.

205. Right after we do get married,

206. it's gonna move pretty quick, right?

207. - Mm-hmm. - Like, we'll probably move right in.

208. I don't think I'm moving into your basement.

209. You're gonna be moving in with me, right? You're moving into my apartment.

210. - You ready to move out? - Fuck yeah.

211. This is a little vibe.

212. - Hi! - Hello!

213. Hello-hello.

214. These are my girls!

215. Oh, my gosh, nice to meet you!

216. - Let's do a cheers. - Okay.

217. Okay!

218. - Cheers to Marissa and Ramses. - Marissa and Rams.

219. - God, nice to finally meet you. - Future Prashads.

220. Oh, my God. Future Prashads.

221. Yeah, so how was everything?

222. It's been going really well.

223. - It's been so easy for us. Yeah.

224. - We keep talking about that. - It's been so easy.

225. What are the things we need to focus on? 'Cause yeah, the marriage is coming up.

226. It's a big decision. It's not something I wanna take lightly.

227. - We've talked about everything. - A lot.

228. We've talked about traumas. We've talked about finances, lifestyle.

229. - Like, religion. - Yeah, religion.

230. Last night was probably our, like, first moment that we had…

231. - I don't know if it was a challenge— - It wasn't a challenge.

232. For you, I felt like it was a challenge talking about that topic.

233. Yeah, we were talking about my military service.

234. It was, like, the first time someone I was dating isn't like,

235. "Your military service is amazing. It's the best thing ever."

236. It's more like, "Well," you know…

237. If I were in the military, he would not date me.

238. Oh!

239. If she were to go back into the military,

240. would that cause a problem?

241. - I'm not going back in, but what if I did? - Yeah.

242. But if you did… but, yeah, if you did,

243. I mean, yeah, that is, like, a line—

244. - That would automatically be divorce? - It's…

245. It's… yeah.

246. It's a moral thing for me.

247. Your politics is, like, tied to your ethics,

248. and that's something that…

249. It's opposed to, like, who I am.

250. Even though you love her and everything?

251. - I love her. - Just because of that, end everything.

252. I don't view politics and those type of things

253. as something that exists in a vacuum. Like, just these ideas.

254. Like, they affect real people.

255. And I feel like it's a very… it's a morality thing.

256. So if I'm joining the military,

257. we're on a different, like, moral plane at that point?

258. We're on a different moral plane at that point, yeah.

259. - This was a part of her life. - For sure.

260. And it is… I mean, I was in as well.

261. - Yeah. - It's something to be proud of for us.

262. Yeah.

263. And everyone that we served with was, that was a huge part of our life.

264. I have a… I mean, I'm so… I love the military.

265. - So, like, I'm just like… - I understand all of this is very nuanced.

266. I don't wanna make sweeping, like, judgments on people.

267. If you've been in the military or anything,

268. if you had friends walking around, like, MAGA hats,

269. I wouldn't, like, immediately cut them off.

270. I trust your heart and trust who you are as a person.

271. I'm gonna trust that these are good people.

272. Where are you from?

273. - I'm from Venezuela. Yeah. - Okay.

274. And Venezuela has a very complicated history with the US.

275. I've just been exposed to the other side of things a lot

276. and to different views,

277. even like when we talk about things like Palestine right now.

278. It's just like, I'm on the… I always stand with people

279. who are under the hammer of, like, US imperialism.

280. I feel for those people,

281. and so, like, it's hard for me

282. to, like, see myself in the future

283. with someone who is actively…

284. - …being involved in the military. - Yeah.

285. - It wouldn't work. - Right.

286. We're aligned on everything except for the military.

287. If you have a disagreement on what you want to teach your kids

288. in the future and what kind of morals you want them to have,

289. how are you gonna handle that?

290. Even with religion, we're going to teach our kids about religion,

291. but same with the military.

292. - That's what I was about to say. - I'm not gonna do what my mom did.

293. She was like, "You need to go into military."

294. If my child wants to go into the military, I will support them going in.

295. - You as well? - That's the thing.

296. I will instill certain values and certain things to them,

297. but they're free to make those decisions for themselves.

298. I'm gonna teach them I was in the military. I wanted them to know,

299. like, that was part of my life.

300. If there's a ship around, I wanna take him to a ship.

301. I wanna be like, "This is what Mom did."

302. I wanna teach them about, like, all that so they can make their own decision.

303. I think that's what I've always come back to with us

304. is just, like, we communicate very well.

305. When we talked about philosophical things, talked about life, talked about exes,

306. talked about future, past, it was always, like, very aligned.

307. But I realized in the experience,

308. I realized when I was looking at all my past relationships

309. that I was, like, allowing people in my life

310. who I just, like, didn't line up morally with

311. or our values weren't aligned.

312. And it was like, "Maybe if I just go into this experience,

313. and I'm just, like, 100% honest about, like, where I stand on everything,

314. what I want my children to believe in and, like, how I wanna raise my kids

315. and my future, what I want it to look like,

316. I'll find the person who will align with that." It happened to be him.

317. Yeah.

318. Which worked out. I'm very happy.

319. I'm happy too.

320. You do have a big heart.

321. - And Marissa has a big heart. - Yeah.

322. Don't you start, Brenda. Don't do this.

323. And of course, we're her friends. We want the best for her.

324. Yeah, yeah.

325. Brenda always gets me crying.

326. I know.

327. - Sorry. - Go ahead. Let out them tears.

328. - We're matching again. - I know.

329. My dad, I mean, he's literally the only one…

330. Mm-hmm.

331. …in the family that does not know.

332. - You want me to talk to him aside? - Separately.

333. Okay.

334. I want us, when we go in there, we're just gonna talk.

335. "Hey, this is my man."

336. "Have any questions? We are living together right now."

337. "We did, like, a crazy experiment. Let me tell you about it."

338. We can leave the proposal out.

339. "We did an experiment to basically find our match."

340. "And now we're testing to see if we can live together."

341. - Da-da-da-da-da-da. - Okay.

342. - Then I'll talk him— - No.

343. - He cannot get up. We will get up. - Okay.

344. - Like, him walking is limited. - Understood.

345. So, me, my mom and my brothers,

346. we'll get up, and we'll go out here.

347. - Or somewhere. I don't know. - Okay.

348. - And then you can talk to him. - Okay.

349. Leading up to this, she was very stressed out about,

350. "When you meet my family, are you gonna ask my dad?"

351. "Will my dad find out? Will my dad say yes?"

352. That's why I have my ring off, 'cause I just want.

353. I get it.

354. Alex's love for her family is the reason why I fell in love with her.

355. Not the only reason, but it's kind of rooted in that.

356. So meeting them is like meeting an extension of her.

357. - I'll see you in there. - Okay.

358. Meeting the people that the person I love loves,

359. I hope they feel comfortable with where this process is going.

360. - Hey. - Hey, hey, hey, hey.

361. I was just with Tim.

362. He's gonna come out shortly. He's still grilling.

363. So you guys can meet him!

364. - Who? Hi, fam!

365. Dad, come on.

366. I'm excited.

367. I'm happy to have you here.

368. Especially y'all two, 'cause I haven't gotten y'all in a room for a while.

369. I haven't seen Richard in a long time.

370. - How do you feel, Dad? - What?

371. About meeting Tim.

372. - Is that okay with you? - Do I have any choice?

373. Love you.

374. Love you.

375. Dad, for real, like, stop.

376. I'm interested in meeting him.

377. I can't say I'm excited.

378. Okay, that's fair.

379. I do wanna go into, like, this whole experiment we did

380. that we're currently in the middle of right now.

381. - That would be nice. - That would be.

382. He is someone that I am with, I've chosen to be with.

383. We've had endless conversations about things,

384. family, experiences,

385. where we've come from, what's important to us.

386. I picked him. He picked me.

387. We do live here together,

388. but I also wanna make sure, like,

389. you guys feel comfortable with him as well,

390. because if you guys don't like him, then I can't see myself with him.

391. He's coming in right now though.

392. - Good afternoon, everybody. - Hey!

393. - Hi! - Hi! How are you?

394. - Excuse me. Let me put this down. - Sure.

395. - Ma'am, how are you? - Good! How are you?

396. - I'm well. How about yourself? Tim. - Good.

397. - Tim. - Yeah, pleasure to meet you.

398. - How are you? Good to meet you. - Ian.

399. - Hey, how are you? Evan. - I'm good. Tim.

400. - Sir. - Tim, how are you?

401. - Well. Really happy to meet you, sir. - Nice to meet you.

402. - Yes, sir. It's a pleasure. - You wanna sit over here?

403. Of course.

404. - You wanna tell them about yourself? - Sure.

405. Yeah. So, I'm actually from Georgia, Augusta.

406. I worked in a lot of different government jobs for a while.

407. I currently consult with a government agency.

408. Prior to that, I was in the Navy. I know I'm in a good place.

409. So I start to look at what the next 32 years of my life are gonna look like.

410. Okay.

411. And so when you and Alex were talking to each other,

412. you two figured that you were kind of on the same trajectory in life?

413. Absolutely. So, like, one thing we actually bonded over was family.

414. When I'm thinking of a partner, somebody I wanna build a life with,

415. that's central,

416. 'cause ultimately what you come from

417. is gonna dictate a lot of what you create.

418. And everything that she came from seems so solid and pure.

419. Family is really important to all of us as well.

420. No, it's interesting to see, 'cause she is y'all's big sister.

421. I had two big sisters, so I'm, like, a little brother.

422. As the little brother, you're like a menace to society.

423. - It's like a switch. - Yeah.

424. Alex cares about us very deeply.

425. - It's almost like a maternal instinct. - Yeah, yeah.

426. - I am— - My kids.

427. That's something we have to work through, because I am so, like, "I got it."

428. - Exactly. - She's like, "No, let me get it!"

429. - So we're always— - "Make sure when you…"

430. - Yeah. - Did you guys ever have an argument?

431. - Yeah, yeah. You wanna… - Yeah.

432. Our first disagreement was in Mexico. You know I talk a lot.

433. When she is saying something,

434. I have to learn to just receive it,

435. instead of being raw and telling her,

436. "These are my thoughts," 'cause we're learning each other.

437. - And you're committed to learning. - Yes.

438. - That's half the battle right there, so… - Yeah.

439. Yeah.

440. - So, Tim. - Yes, ma'am.

441. In the pods, was there one question that

442. convinced you that Alex is the one?

443. I wouldn't say a particular question.

444. There was a lot of moments.

445. I found myself in, like, a very soft place where I felt very vulnerable.

446. I've never cried so many times in my life.

447. - Really? - We cried a lot.

448. - In the moment that we started… - Oh, my God.

449. Like, the moment that for me was a big standout moment

450. was when I was sharing a story about one of my sisters.

451. - And we ended up crying together. - Aww.

452. I have two sisters. Both of them passed away.

453. And I had never just, like, cried with somebody.

454. I always look at it through the lens of,

455. "Who do I want next to me on the worst day of my life?"

456. And in every way, up, down, left, and right,

457. she is the person that accepts that and understands

458. that holistic part of me.

459. That's good.

460. - I know y'all hungry, so… - Yeah, very.

461. - Um, you wanna make the plates? - Yeah, okay. Are they over here?

462. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - So I made four steaks.

463. - And I got chicken wings for y'all. - Okay.

464. Cool, cool.

465. - Those look really good, man. - Thank you.

466. - Sir, does that steak look good for you? - Yes, sir.

467. - Thank you. - Of course. Of course.

468. Waters. We have lemonade, sweet tea.

469. Lemonade, please.

470. - So, Tim, if you don't mind me asking. - Of course.

471. - How long did you stay in the Navy? - Almost eight years. I enjoyed it.

472. Joining was the best decision of my life, and getting out was the second best.

473. I'm glad I'm out, but I don't regret it. Like, it set me up for so much.

474. I learned so much. I saw so much. I did so much.

475. He's literally been everywhere.

476. And he asked me, like, "Where have I been?"

477. And I was like, "Well, one of my first trips out of the country as a kid

478. was going to Scotland to see my family."

479. And he's like— You've never been to Scotland, right?

480. - Never been. I wanna go. - Beautiful.

481. - Yeah. - Beautiful.

482. - I'm a big golfer, so that's, like… - Oh my God!

483. Yeah, and I love golf and whiskey.

484. - So, like, Scotland is… - Yes!

485. - St. Andrews! - Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

486. I was born in England too.

487. - Oh, really? - And so was he.

488. Yeah, I think she told me that.

489. - Another weird… - That is such a coincidence.

490. My dad was in the service at the time, the Air Force.

491. So I was born at an Air Force base in England.

492. - All right. - That's how he got here too.

493. Our grandfather was in the Air Force.

494. So it was very, like, "What?"

495. She tells me you wanted her to be the next Tiger Woods

496. when she was a kid, so…

497. That's cool though that you, like, share that same interest.

498. - No, yeah. - Yeah.

499. - That's one thing that MS robbed of me. - Mm-hmm.

500. Yeah.

501. 'Cause he really would be out there all the time.

502. - Yeah. - Mm-hmm.

503. So how do you guys feel so far, meeting Tim?

504. - Very nice. - Yeah.

505. Thank you.

506. If you guys don't mind, I did wanna talk to Mr. Byrd privately.

507. - Would all you be okay taking Roddy out? Sure.

508. All right. BRB. See y'all later.

509. Come on, Roddy.

510. Mr. Byrd.

511. When Alex and I met in the pods,

512. there really was that, like, deep connection.

513. Before I even saw Alex, I knew Alex.

514. And I decided that she's the person that I want to make my wife.

515. But I knew how important it was

516. for me to have this conversation with you.

517. So, that being said, I read a letter to Alex in the pod,

518. but it was addressed to you.

519. So if you don't mind, I'm gonna read that to you.

520. So, "Mr. Byrd, first and foremost,

521. I was raised to begin all things with a grateful spirit, so thank you."

522. "Thank you for bringing Alex into this world."

523. "Thank you for raising her and understanding what love is."

524. "I'm blessed that we were both willing to bet on ourselves

525. and find each other through this process."

526. "You raised a kind, intelligent, driven

527. and resilient daughter

528. who became a place of warmth and comfort and peace for me

529. almost as soon as I heard her voice."

530. "Before I make any promises to her, I want to promise to you

531. that I will treat her with the amount of respect and dignity

532. that I would treat one of my own parents' daughters,

533. which soon I hope to make her one of."

534. "With the ultimate amount of respect and love in my heart,

535. I would like to kindly ask

536. for Alex's hand in marriage for a lifetime."

537. Well, I'm gonna gather my thoughts.

538. She's my baby girl.

539. Yes, sir.

540. We just met.

541. But I believe in you.

542. And I believe what you have written,

543. what you have said.

544. I believe that came from your heart.

545. Yes, sir.

546. And…

547. I accept you as my son.

548. Thank you, sir.

549. That means so much to me. It really does.

550. - Oh, yes. - Yes, sir.

551. You have my blessing.

552. Thank you, sir.

553. That means a lot. It really does.

554. I welcome you to our family.

555. Thank you.

556. Can't wait.

557. Please, go and give them the good news.

558. Yes, sir. Thank you, sir. I'll be right back.

559. He said yes.

560. Yeah!

561. - Come back in. He wants to share. - Okay, can someone help me up?

562. Hey, Dad.

563. Hi.

564. I love you.

565. I love you too.

566. My new son-in-law.

567. Oh, stop. I'm gonna cry.

568. I was happy to accept him into our family.

569. And I wish them nothing but the best.

570. Where's my son?

571. Meet your brother.

572. - How's it going? - Good to meet you again. Thank you.

573. Brother-in-law. That feels good.

574. - Right? - You know?

575. I have no concerns about Tim.

576. Tim seems like a really good person,

577. and so far, the way they interact, love it.

578. Love is like they've known each other for a long time.

579. - All right now. - Okay.

580. He got you.

581. That's my baby girl, so I just want the best.

582. How long have you been here?

583. I've been in this space for about six months now.

584. Yeah?

585. And it's kind of just been, like, the place that

586. I've been, like, bouncing around to different cities, then I come back…

587. - The bougie. - Corporate girly lifestyle.

588. - Right before this? - Yes.

589. So, now, this is like the main house where my best friend lives.

590. And then I have, like, the basement apartment unit.

591. Are you ready to go down into my little English basement?

592. - Do you want me to lead? - I got it.

593. Help me grab my mail.

594. Jury duty.

595. Late notice.

596. Mail order men.

597. Give me my mail.

598. Ooh, I like this rug.

599. I'm not even gonna look up yet. I kind of wanna like…

600. Okay, well, we have a fake fig. Not okay.

601. Kitchen.

602. "Proceed as if success is inevitable."

603. We have nothing in here.

604. Just a bunch of beer.

605. - Okay, there's some protein shakes. - What am I looking at here?

606. We have one thing of white wine.

607. Protein shakes and beer. Like, what are we doing here?

608. And the one thing of white wine for the occasional girl you bring over.

609. This is a bachelor dude's fridge.

610. What is this place?

611. Here we go.

612. This is where you're gonna stay.

613. Wait a second.

614. It's for the Bible studies that I host out here every night.

615. I'm speechless. Jeez Louise.

616. And this is my room. I've been living minimally.

617. - That's why there's the label. - I forgot I had labels.

618. Blazers and work clothes.

619. - Some more hotel things I stole. - Like I'm about to marry a felon.

620. - I like this place. - Thank you.

621. Let's go to the couch.

622. We should talk about, like, how we wanna live after this.

623. I think it makes a lot of sense just to, you move with me in Fredericksburg,

624. figure out what we wanna do from there, but…

625. we should talk about that.

626. You've never not lived in Fredericksburg, right?

627. Other than college and this past summer

628. when I lived at Virginia Beach for the summer, no.

629. San Diego was always, like, a place that I wanted to.

630. Like, I'm so excited

631. that I got to see your family and your family's home, but I love San Diego.

632. It's, like, where I wanna raise my family.

633. It's somewhere that is really easy for me.

634. I'm excited for us to maybe just go spend some time there.

635. Yeah.

636. And get more of a feel for it before, like, you completely commit to it.

637. - So I feel better about it. - So you feel better about it? Yeah. Um…

638. I like California a lot.

639. It's just far from the family. That's the tough part.

640. When we talked about it in the pods, I was like, "Yeah, I'm open to it."

641. And then, like, as okay,

642. now you and I got engaged, and I started to think about,

643. "This is now something very serious."

644. "Okay, how do I feel about it?" And I've sat with it for quite a while.

645. You know, like, it's…

646. I've made it clear that, like, I care a lot about my parents,

647. and I care a lot about the experiences that they have in life too.

648. And I know that they would love to see me

649. with someone that I love

650. and to have kids.

651. And naturally, they wanna be a part of that.

652. So hearing that I'm, like, considering moving to San Diego for this woman

653. is, like, not exciting for them.

654. Yeah.

655. And therefore it's not exciting for me from that perspective.

656. It's exciting for me because this is what I want in life is to be with you.

657. So I'm very much, like, open to it

658. and excited to talk to you about it and to potentially do it.

659. Out of the pods,

660. it seemed like moving to San Diego was something that you were excited about.

661. Mm-hmm.

662. And so, like, it is a bit of a surprise

663. to hear, like, how much of a concession it is.

664. Mm-hmm.

665. And I wanna make sure that that concession

666. is something that's, like, very much, like, appreciated

667. and, like, worthwhile.

668. And, like, I wanna make sure that your family

669. feels like they're a part of our family.

670. And I think we can be intentional about when we raise a family

671. or just ourselves coming back here.

672. Yeah.

673. Still for work, luckily it's remote.

674. But because I do federal affairs, like, I have to come to DC for stuff.

675. And so it's never gonna be like we're gonna go to San Diego and then disappear.

676. I want my kids to also have that, like, loving grandparent relationship.

677. Um, not just once a year.

678. Come Christmas, like, here's Grandma and Grandpa.

679. They're like, "Who are these people?" I don't want that.

680. - No. - I don't want that for my kids.

681. My dad's gonna whip 'em in a frenzy.

682. And then send them home, for sure.

683. Perfect. Perfect. I'm really excited to meet them, honestly.

684. They're gonna be my kids' grandparents, you know.

685. It's not just my parents. Like, I have a huge family in San Diego.

686. And so, like, I'm so excited for you

687. to, like, eventually get to meet all of them.

688. I think, like I said, once I see all that, I think it'll make more sense for me.

689. - Yeah. - So feeling much better about it for sure.

690. Like, I think that this is definitely, you know, after sitting on it and saying,

691. "I'm open to it, sure, but am I willing to actually do it?"

692. I can definitely say that, like, I'm not only willing to.

693. Like, I'm excited about it.

694. I think you're gonna like it.

695. - So you're excited? - Elated.

696. I feel extremely vulnerable right now because I'm leaning in so hard to you.

697. And, like, I'm very sold on you.

698. And it's scary to do that.

699. - You are amazing. - You are too.

700. You are absolutely perfect for me, and we're perfect for each other.

701. If you change your mind or you feel differently,

702. I'll end up looking like a fool. I'll be crushed.

703. It's worth it, because if I don't fully lean in, like,

704. I could lose you that way.

705. And I'd much rather just, like, take the risk here.

706. Yeah, sometimes I'm just really worried that

707. you'll just change your mind.

708. But I'm just really excited to do life with you.

709. - I love you, babe. - I love you too.

710. This shit's wild.

711. - It is crazy. - Mm-hmm.

712. It's very crazy.

713. - There was a possibility, for sure. Coming back to, like…

714. - Unemployment. Yeah. Not having a job. Yeah.

715. I really did have a feeling.

716. That's why the first thing I asked when I got on-site. I saw my foreman.

717. I was like, "Do I still have a job?"

718. And he was like, "No, like, you didn't hear?"

719. Does suck, but I'm not stressing about it.

720. You're handling it very well.

721. You know, it'd be nice to be employed.

722. But the longest you've ever, like,

723. had to be in this position, you said it's like a week and a half.

724. A week and a half, yeah. End of the day, I can't control it.

725. - Totally. Keep me posted. - So…

726. - I will. - I got your back.

727. I'll be your sugar mama, your baby mama.

728. Thank you for that, by the way. I know that's a hard thing

729. that I will never ask.

730. So thank you.

731. I got you.

732. I mean, I am perfectly okay

733. with you treating me like a piece of meat. I think it's hot.

734. I really do.

735. You know, if I come in, and you're just like, "Drop 'em,"

736. I'm like, "Fuckin' let's go."

737. - I have a— I'm not— - "Yes, ma'am."

738. - Yeah. - No, no, but I'm saying, like, if you did…

739. - We've had great sex. - Yeah.

740. No, we have, for sure.

741. Sex is amazing.

742. But then when you started, like, having concerns about the wedding…

743. Mm-hmm.

744. …it makes me be like, "Well, I'm not just gonna, like,

745. bend over for my fiancé, who's now…"

746. - You're right. - "…not sure he wants to get married."

747. That's why we haven't had it, or else I, like, would have done it.

748. I'm a man.

749. You know, the wind blows in the right direction,

750. and I'm like, "Fuck!"

751. Women are a lot more complicated.

752. - I don't know if it's that complicated. - It is.

753. The difference is every woman has a different combination.

754. But most women don't know their own combinations.

755. - I know mine. - So they can't tell you what they are.

756. Then you just kind of have to figure 'em out.

757. Luckily, you're with a modern-day woman who will tell you.

758. Talk to me. "Hey, little less of that, little more of these."

759. A little less butt stabs.

760. Yeah, yeah.

761. Accident.

762. I mean, you're into butt stuff.

763. Like pegging?

764. I mean, it's cool.

765. But it's not like, "I wait until

766. my birthday to be lucky enough to have it" type situation, you know?

767. - Yeah. - I'm saving my butt for my husband.

768. That's fair.

769. I mean, let's be honest.

770. There's so many different things you could put your dick inside.

771. Pineapple, bowl of macaroni and cheese.

772. - Bowl of macaroni and cheese? - Yeah.

773. - Have you ever done that? - No.

774. I don't believe you.

775. I think that the best sex.

776. This is why it's so good with you. Good for a lot of reasons.

777. But, like, someone who's just, like, obsessed with your vagina?

778. I mean, that's what the main focus is, right?

779. Is, like, the vagina.

780. Sure, yeah, I'll take it.

781. No, let's be honest.

782. If I had a vagina—

783. Could you imagine being the first man with a legitimate vagina?

784. I'd be able to compare now the difference

785. between getting kicked in the nuts and giving birth.

786. Okay.

787. Giving birth is the only time a woman comes close

788. to understanding what it's like when a man has a common cold, okay?

789. Are you well?

790. Are you okay?

791. God, I could win a Nobel Prize if I had a vagina.

792. This was so fun two minutes ago.

793. I'm not—

794. - Like, I don't need sex, you know? - Yeah.

795. If you don't want to,

796. I don't wanna make you feel forced in that degree in any way.

797. - You would never do that. - Yeah.

798. You, like, let me take the lead.

799. I just have to feel very safe in this relationship because…

800. I get it. Yeah.

801. You should be taking the lead in that department.

802. You know, maybe not necessarily in the sense of, like,

803. what people's kinks are into and, like, sub-dom shit,

804. but that's a completely different topic.

805. But as far as feeling comfortable and vulnerable and ready,

806. yeah, like, take the lead.

807. So, anyway, how about anal, huh? No…

808. Jesus.

809. It's gross in here.

810. You look nice.

811. Thank you. You look nice too.

812. It's gross in here.

813. My shirt's smelly. I'm gonna change shirts real quick.

814. Okay. These floors get dirty fast.

815. I literally sweeped yesterday, and it's already gross.

816. It already looks better.

817. - I know. - I feel more at home.

818. - What, that I cleaned? - Yeah.

819. Thanks for doing that.

820. - Yeah. - See now we're matching. You like it?

821. So you changed your dress clothes to dress clothes?

822. Same style, just different color.

823. - Are you going back out? - Just work. I'm gonna work, you know.

824. - Zoom? - Maybe.

825. I'm asking 'cause you dressed up.

826. Yeah.

827. Got two new buyer clients today

828. that I have to talk to and connect with my lenders.

829. - Will you take this out? Please. - Yep.

830. - I've taken the trash out. - You took it out this morning?

831. Oh, you're taking the trash out now, 'cause I asked. 'Cause I asked, Nick.

832. Hmm.

833. It's nice that if I tell you, "Hey, Nick, will you take the trash out?" You do.

834. Or like, "Nick, will you get the stuff out of the dryer?" You will.

835. But I feel like you should be able to do that.

836. I don't wanna have to tell you every time.

837. - I do take out the trash. - Yeah, you do.

838. But I feel like today and yesterday I had to ask.

839. For us and our relationship,

840. I think it would be nice to have, like, things you do and things that I do.

841. Yeah, I'm open to that.

842. With trash, trash will be you.

843. - You take the trash out. - Cool.

844. Cool. Laundry, when you do laundry, you do my laundry.

845. And then with Luna, like, she is my dog. She's my responsibility.

846. I get that. But now that we're married, your responsibilities are mine,

847. and my responsibilities are yours.

848. - Yeah. - How often do you vacuum, sweep?

849. Like, once every two weeks.

850. You vacuum once every two weeks, Nick?

851. Well, it's just downstairs.

852. But I mean, you've been down there. I keep it very clean.

853. I vacuum every single day.

854. Do you think it's partly because of Luna?

855. Well, Luna doesn't even shed.

856. - Why do you vacuum every day? - Because it gets gross.

857. My expectations are I vacuum every single day. I sweep every day.

858. I dust once a week.

859. Sundays are when I deep clean, where I scrub the walls, the baseboards.

860. I wash my sheets. I do laundry I didn't catch up on.

861. I clean out my fridge every two weeks.

862. If you're out getting groceries, then just text me and ask me what I need.

863. If I'm out doing groceries, text me what you need.

864. If I do the once-a-week grocery shop where I'm spending $300 or something,

865. I think we could split that.

866. I don't think groceries will ever be that much.

867. I've probably spent $300 on groceries a week.

868. Groceries are expensive.

869. - Financially, right? - Yeah.

870. - You don't wanna join our account? - We could play it by ear.

871. - For now. - Not a "play it by ear" person.

872. 'Cause, like, when we get married, if you're $50,000 in debt,

873. or if I'm $50,000 in debt, your debt becomes my debt, right?

874. - Yeah. - And my debt becomes your debt.

875. Finances are a very important part in a relationship.

876. It's a good thing I don't have any debt or student loans.

877. I do have student loans.

878. - You're not gonna pay them. - Right.

879. But I mean, let's say something happened, like…

880. - Yeah, I accept that. - It's a big deal, right?

881. We'll keep separate bank accounts. Maybe when we have kids, we can join them.

882. Or maybe we can have a separate joint account for savings, our travels.

883. Or for our home.

884. We'll split all utilities. We'll split rent.

885. - Yep. - Who's paying the bills?

886. - Are you paying the bills or am I? - What do you think?

887. I think I'm financially more literate you are.

888. There's nothing wrong with this. The only bill you have is just your car.

889. Didn't even know you had insurance. Your parents are paying.

890. So this is my question to you. Are you going to join my car insurance?

891. Are we gonna pay that together?

892. Are you going to continue to stay on your parents' car insurance?

893. What would be the benefit of joining, being together on car insurance?

894. That you're paying your own bills.

895. I'm asking, when we get married,

896. are your parents still gonna be paying bills, or are you joining them with me?

897. I would join them with you.

898. Your parents pay your phone bill. What's your plan with that?

899. I mean, eventually, like, in the next year or two,

900. I'll probably start paying for it.

901. But as long as they wanna pay for my phone bill, I'm cool with it.

902. - I'll keep my phone bill for me? - Yeah.

903. - Why are you looking at me like that? - Because you're 28 years old.

904. I've been on my own since I'm 18, so I've had to pay all the bills, right?

905. I pay my car insurance. I pay my health insurance.

906. Then I contribute to my 401.

907. Then I contribute to my stocks.

908. - I don't know shit about stocks. - Right.

909. If you ever want to invest, let me know, and I can invest your money in stocks.

910. Stocks? I could give a fuck about stocks.

911. - I can teach you. - Do you know about sports?

912. - No, but money, sports, you know? - Okay, well, there you go.

913. Yeah, we'll see about that.

914. Does watching sports make you more financially successful?

915. I don't think stocks does.

916. What are stocks?

917. Can't you lose money from putting money in stocks?

918. When you're investing, you can be really risky, but you don't have to.

919. You just put a bit of money in different stocks.

920. Me, financially, I'm not stupid, and I don't have enough money

921. to be high-risk, high-reward, so I'm low-risk, low-reward.

922. Like, is your 401, is that intertwined with stocks?

923. I don't know anything. I mean, I just never invested in stocks.

924. I think, like, a bad habit that I have is

925. I like things the way I like things,

926. and everyone else just can't do it as good as me,

927. which I know is wrong, because people do their thing that they wanna do.

928. You do dishes a certain way, or you do the bed a certain way.

929. And that's okay.

930. Maybe it's not the way I like it, but it's different.

931. I think we're both very ambitious people.

932. I think we're both, like, clean, which is important.

933. You have a good and kind heart, and so do I.

934. It feels like we're best friends.

935. I've accepted you for who you are,

936. but I'm getting used to it a little bit more.

937. I'm a very good listener. Like, I'm always going to hear you out.

938. I know sometimes you don't think it, but I would protect you.

939. I will.

940. Hi!

941. I haven't seen you in forever. For a month. Over a month.

942. - This is Tyler. What's going on, sir? How are you?

943. - Pleasure to meet you. Same, same.

944. - Got you a gift, man. Wow.

945. - Let me guess. 1738. - Just a little something. Yes, I told him.

946. That's a good start.

947. - What's going on? - So…

948. - This is my one and only daughter. - Yep.

949. And from what she have described to me,

950. you make her happy.

951. What made you think she was the one for you?

952. She made me feel, like, safe and protected,

953. like, my emotions were safe.

954. Like, I'm able to open up to her.

955. - We talked about everything. - Okay.

956. Like, the deepest things that I've never opened up with people before about.

957. I was able to be free and be vulnerable, where I couldn't growing up.

958. It was like, "You're a man. Be tough, don't cry."

959. Then I get in this position where I'm able to cry.

960. She's like, "I love that for you."

961. - Where'd you grow up? - Pittsburgh.

962. - Pittsburgh. Okay. - Yep.

963. She was allowing me to just be myself

964. and tell her, like, about my family, how I grew up

965. and, like, how rough it was.

966. And she just accepted me for everything.

967. - Like, she's so genuine and so honest. - Uh-huh.

968. I'm not saying it 'cause she's my daughter,

969. but that's the total package.

970. - Yes, yes. - The brains, you know, everything.

971. - That's why I say she's strong. - Ride or die.

972. - Yeah, genuine. - Ride or die. She's gonna ride.

973. - Yeah. - She's not gonna quit on you.

974. Nah. I'm riding.

975. - You sure? - 100%.

976. So what do you wanna do in life?

977. Like, business-wise, work?

978. So right now, I do, like, security specialist.

979. So it's a bunch of computer work.

980. - Reviewing procedures. - You're pretty smart.

981. Nah, I'm all right, you know.

982. - How old are you? - I'm 34.

983. I was gonna say 33, but the day I proposed, I turned 34.

985. - Are you serious? Are you ready? - Oh, I'm very ready. 100%.

986. As a man, how can you protect her?

987. 'Cause I'm turning her over to you.

988. Yes, of course. I'm not a cheater. I'm not gonna lie to her.

989. - Okay. - I'm sharing everything with her.

990. - Her emotions are protected 100%. - Okay.

991. Well, here's a big question then.

992. How do you feel about family, kids?

993. - Big family. I come from a small family. - Are you ready for that?

994. Oh, yeah, more than ready.

995. You sure?

996. Yeah, I'm sure. Trust me.

998. So you'll be living not just for you no more.

999. - For my family, yeah, yeah. - For a legacy.

1000. - I don't wanna sound biased. - No, yeah.

1001. I've not asked you your question. What is it about him that you like?

1002. He just made me feel safe enough to feel like I could be soft.

1003. That was the first thing. And then after that,

1004. just, like, the little things he does in, like, the real world

1005. when we actually hung out Just, like, how protective he is.

1006. He don't let me grab nothing. I'm like, "I got this." He's like, "No."

1007. - Don't touch that door. - No door, no nothing.

1008. You know, and it's so unfamiliar in our dating era

1009. for our generation to be that way.

1010. And, yeah, just the way that you love me is like

1011. something that I didn't have in my past relationships, um, ever.

1013. she's my one and only daughter.

1014. I love her to death.

1015. Yeah.

1016. So this is serious to me.

1017. She should go away for a minute.

1030. She accepted you.

1031. Yeah.

1051. She feels good.

1052. She's happy. I'm happy.

1053. If Ashley starts talking a little bit differently besides this,

1054. then Daddy's gonna kick into motion.

1075. I just cannot believe it.

1076. Have you met his family?

1077. I was supposed to on Sunday.

1078. I did find it really weird in Mexico.

1079. We're at, like, the party,

1080. and, like, he said to me,

1081. "You know, in a year, when a bunch of women

1082. are, like, in my DMs wanting to suck my dick…"

1083. - And I was like, "Why would you say that?" - It's disgusting.

1084. He went and did a sleep test last night.

1085. Did he do a sleep test last night? I don't know.

1086. He didn't sleep here.

1087. It's really unbelievable.

1088. I'm just so sorry.

1089. You don't deserve that. You really don't.

1090. I can't believe someone would say that and then do that to you.

1091. - And, like— - I'm so sorry. It's disgusting.

1092. It's fucking evil.

1093. - I'll text you when I'm done. And I'll come.

1094. Thank you.

1095. Reading those text messages filled with fetishes and coming.

1096. - Like, it's disgusting, Stephen. - You're right.

1097. No, you're right.

1098. Stop acting! Like, "You're right." I know I'm right.

1099. Say something else.

1100. Why did you do this? Why did you propose?

1101. Why did you come here? Like, who are you?

1102. - Were you at a sleep test last night? - Yeah.

1103. - Really? - Yeah.

1104. Well… I don't know if I believe that.

1105. At this point, um,

1106. I don't think there's anything I could say that you would believe.

1107. Is there something that I should believe?

1108. Monica, I didn't pretend anything.

1109. Yes, you did. You pretended to want to get married.

1110. I wasn't pretending.

1111. I did make a completely stupid mistake

1112. while being drunk at a sleep test with somebody who texted me.

1113. You were doing it today, Stephen. You texted her today.

1114. And the really gross ones were today. So don't fucking lie to my face.

1115. - Were you guys texting today? - No.

1116. - You weren't? Let me see your phone. - I deleted the message.

1117. - Of course you did. - I didn't wanna look at it either.

1118. They started yesterday, and they went through today.

1119. Uh…

1120. I honestly don't remember texting her today,

1121. because I knew what I was doing and if…

1122. You didn't know what you were doing last night?

1123. I did know what I was doing last night, and I know it was a stupid decision,

1124. and it was coupled with the conversation that we had had last night—

1125. Don't you fucking blame me at all for you being gross.

1126. I'm blaming my actions on myself based on how I took our conversation.

1127. I am taking full responsibility for this.

1128. - I'm getting my stuff, leaving you alone. - Great.

1129. Before you leave,

1130. I would like you to Venmo me the money you owe me

1131. for me carrying your weight the last couple days.

1132. If you wouldn't mind taking out your phone now to send me the Venmo.

1133. There we go.

1134. I'm almost embarrassed

1135. about how much of my, like, heart I've given you.

1136. You were gonna, like, what, shake my dad's hand this weekend?

1137. While you were planning on cheating?

1138. - Like, I don't— I don't understand. - I wasn't…

1139. Sorry.

1140. Ugh! You were, like, laying in a sleep test bed

1141. texting a girl while you are engaged that you want to…

1142. - Yeah, it's— - …do dirty kinks.

1143. - It was disgusting. - You're right.

1144. I can't do anything to change this.

1145. I will live with this.

1146. Great.

1147. I truly am sorry for hurting you,

1148. for wasting your time, for coming on the show and…

1149. doing this to you.

1150. I shouldn't have come on the show.

1151. What a selfish thing to say. What a selfish piece of shit.

1152. You fucking put a ring on my finger,

1153. and now you shouldn't have been on the show?

1154. I'm like— It's just, like, taking that away from me…

1155. Yeah, I definitely don't…

1156. I definitely don't. I definitely…

1157. I definitely don't deserve much.

1158. I am sorry.

1159. I will leave you alone now.

1160. Um…

1161. Yeah, okay.

1162. Hey.

1163. How'd it go?

1164. I'm so sad.

1165. I'm so sorry, Monica.

1166. Thank you so much.

1167. I can't believe this is happening.
