Key Topics & Discussion Points
1. The Airport Rumor: Is Blake on Taylor Frankie Paul’s "Bachelorette" Season?
[03:58–08:55]
- Joe and Serena recount hearing Blake Moynes’ name at LAX airport as part of a “final boarding call,” sparking rumors he’s rejoining the franchise.
- The bizarre coincidence of another "Blake Moynes" flying with a Bachelor producer stuns everyone.
- Serena (06:04): “Did you just hear what I think I just heard?”
- Joe (06:20): “This crazy motherfucker went back on the Bachelorette. I can’t believe he’s back...”
- Blake’s response: He laughs off the rumor, saying he’s also never met someone with his name and finds the whole situation wild.
- Blake (07:02): “That is wild. Because I’ve never heard of another Blake Moy. And the coincidence of everything...if there's anyone that's gonna do it, it's probably that. But it wouldn’t."
- Joe pushes the investigation: He called the wildlife center in Costa Rica to confirm if Blake was really there, not on set. Hilarity ensues when the staff remind Joe it's not a hotel.
- Joe (09:10): “I call the place...I thought it was a hotel, but it was like a rescue center."
Takeaway:
Despite playful teasing and wild speculation, Blake confirms he’s NOT appearing on Taylor Frankie Paul’s season—though he keeps things coy just long enough to keep Bachelor Nation on their toes.
2. What Blake Is Really Up To: SOSA & Wildlife Conservation
[09:49–15:20, 21:24–29:34]
- Current Location: Blake is in Costa Rica, working hands-on with conservation organizations.
- His Company: Blake runs SOSA (Save Our Species Alliance), a wildlife conservation initiative that collaborates with NGOs globally.
- Blake (11:48): “SOSA Save Our Species Alliance is my wildlife conservation organization. It’s a company. It’s a for-profit. We work with multiple nonprofits in the space, and that's why I'm traveling nonstop.”
- Recent Work:
- Assisting with projects in Costa Rica (e.g., sloth, jaguar, sea turtle conservation)
- Describes challenging, sometimes risky excursions—including encountering venomous Fer de Lance snakes on night hikes.
- Blake (13:23): “A Fer de Lance...If you get bit by that snake, what’s survival chance? If you’re not getting treatment, you’re in a heap of trouble.”
- Serena (14:02): “Didn’t after the first one go, like, let’s circle back, let’s get out of here?”
- SOSA’s Structure & Experience Offers:
- Experiences are curated directly with conservation NGOs—minimizing overhead, maximizing impact, and offering hands-on participation.
- Blake (24:28): “People that want to come on our trips are wanting to be more than just a passive tourist...they want to get involved.”
- Careful vetting and safety protocols vary the adventure intensity ("low risk excursions" available!).
- Blake (27:16): “Botswana, for example, coming up in April, is very much luxury heavy with youth education...not as crazy as you’re potentially picturing all of our experiences.”
Memorable moment:
Joe (25:51): “I want to be in the forest at night, let alone with the snakes...I want to make sure that I am safe. And if I am going to die, I want to die in one sweep!”
3. Personal Life: Dating and Burnout in the Wild
[34:31–44:53]
- Joe asks about Blake’s love life: Is he single? What’s it like juggling dating with constant travel and commitment to SOSA?
- Joe (36:16): “Last time I was with you, you were a single man. Are you still single?”
- Blake (36:16): “That is the most challenging piece for me because...I have no social life when it comes to meeting people. I don't meet people in Costa Rica in the jungle when we're sweating buckets and disgusting.”
- Burnout and Commitment:
- Blake reveals he’s “married to his work” but is ready to rebalance as his brother joins the business, freeing up some time.
- Blake (38:44): “I can't continue at this pace...There's times where I was in Australia, Thailand, Kenya...within a two-month period. I didn’t touch home...You just burn out.”
- What He Wants in a Partner:
- Someone ambitious or supportive, understanding of his lifestyle.
- Blake (41:37): “Having someone that has something that they're passionate about or ambitious would be great...But even if not, just understanding is key.”
- Serena (43:44): “You need someone who's either totally cool with you being gone...or is going to immerse themselves in your work because it's a shared passion.”
- Longing for Shared Experience:
- Blake (44:00): “To be able to share that with someone that you love...is like a gift. There’s a lot of moments where I’m like, fuck, it’d be cool to share this with somebody.”
4. Would Blake Return to Bachelor Nation?
[45:00–46:23]
- Hosts ask if Blake would ever go back on the show.
- Serena (45:09): “If they came to you and said, 'We think you’d be a fit,' would you ever consider going back on?”
- Blake (45:29): “Depending on the scenario...Maybe a different concept in sense of, like, not so heavy on 'you’re here to find love.' I don’t think I’d deliver in that sense right now. Can I deliver with entertainment, some crazy shit? Yeah, that for sure.”
- Conclusion: Blake’s open if it’s a laid-back, less relationship-centric role—but isn’t chasing another heavy romance arc.
5. The Bachelor Nation Cruise: What to Expect
[46:25–47:56]
- Blake is on the roster for the Bachelor Nation cruise in November.
- Excited to catch up with other alumni, fans.
- Will be sharing wild stories and near-death experiences in a “morning chat.”
- Blake (46:36): “There’s going to be three days...it’s going to be super optimistic, fun, lighthearted. For me, it’s a chance to check out and be on vacation...on a boat that is luxury versus a rickety Amazon riverboat.”
- Serena (47:56): “Yeah, it’s not like threatening.”
- Joe (47:58): “No snakes, hopefully.”

Overall Tone & Takeaways
The tone is playful, candid, and slightly irreverent—blending pseudoinvestigative fun with real insights into Blake’s life post-show.
