Yes, of course. Why were you in the Bahamas?
Victoria Fuller
Oh, for vacation. Okay.

To get some sun.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah. Do I look like I got bronzed?
Natalie Viall
You do.
Nick Viall
You have great color.
Victoria Fuller
Thank you.
Nick Viall
I was like, oh, my wife's real pale. No, I'm just kidding.
Victoria Fuller
I was waiting. Shots fired.
Natalie Viall
I was waiting.
Victoria Fuller
She's like, and we will be going to Jamaica.
Nick Viall
I feel like the giving shit is only allowed in one direction sometimes.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah.
Natalie Viall
No, I appreciate you giving me shit.
Nick Viall
You do?
Victoria Fuller
She's like, but not today.
Natalie Viall
Yeah. But not now.
Nick Viall
No.
Natalie Viall
Yeah.
Victoria Fuller
She's like, I hate.
Nick Viall
I'll let you know when I'm ready.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah, I will let you know and I'll tell you.
Natalie Viall
Yes. Yes. You were with the pigs.
Victoria Fuller
I was. Exuma. Yeah.
Natalie Viall
Do you feel like they, like, PETA should be called?
Victoria Fuller
No, they're thriving.
Natalie Viall
They're thriving.
Victoria Fuller
I think they're thriving. Well, also, they're wild pigs, so.
Natalie Viall
But they're nice to people.
Victoria Fuller
Well, I guess they're not.
Nick Viall
They also made an appearance on Ben Higgins season. They went to the Bahamas.
Victoria Fuller
Oh.
Nick Viall
And they played.
Victoria Fuller
I was like, who?
Nick Viall
One of the group dates is with, playing with the. These famous.
Victoria Fuller
The famous pigs. Yeah. So there's 200 wild pigs and they live on an island. Well, multiple islands. But, yeah, it was really cool. And no, we should not be calling PETA. They're. They're wild pigs.
Natalie Viall
I didn't know.
Victoria Fuller
But they leave water for them. No, no. Like, they're. They, like, live there.
Natalie Viall
Do you pay to go see them?
Victoria Fuller
Well, you pay a charter, of course. So you do have to pay a.
Natalie Viall
Fee to get on a boat to.
Victoria Fuller
Get on a boat to go there and go to Exuma.
Natalie Viall
Okay.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah.
Nick Viall
And that's a separate island from Nassau.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah.
Nick Viall
Okay.
Victoria Fuller
So we flew into Nassau, which is where, like, Bahamar. No shout outs, no freebies, but that's, like, a really cool resort there. And, yeah, we just hung out. It was my friend's birthday and we gambled.
Nick Viall
Oh, did you win anything? What's your game?
Victoria Fuller
I didn't. Well, my game is more like spend other people's money.
Natalie Viall
Yes, of course. Yeah.
Victoria Fuller
So I was just.
Natalie Viall
Mine.
Nick Viall
Is it like, blow on the dice and wish people luck? Yes, that's your game.
Victoria Fuller
Yes. And then they'd be like, oh, what color? And I'm like, what are we choosing from?
Natalie Viall
My favorite color is pink. Yeah, they're like, that's not.
Victoria Fuller
They're like. That's actually not.
Nick Viall
Yeah, it's like a black or red situation.
Natalie Viall
Yes.
Victoria Fuller
Yes. So I did figure that out pretty quickly, considering.
Natalie Viall
Did anyone, like, split their winnings with you?
Victoria Fuller
No, they did not, unfortunately. But I did get a couple free drinks.
Nick Viall
Oh, I felt like you could do that without the gambling.
Natalie Viall
Yeah, probably.
Victoria Fuller
So here we are.
Natalie Viall
Yes, of course. Yeah.
Nick Viall
Well, we have a great week lined up for you. Obviously. I don't. We've, you know, our world's been a little crazy, so we've had to mix things up. It's a very special week. We are actually, though, going to have a reality recap tomorrow, which is usually our going deepers, but Thursday is actually going to be a going deeper. And I'm not going to say with whom it's going to be with because, like, every time we. Every time we, like, put it out there, like some crazy Shit happens. But it's going to be epic. And I feel like it's going to serve a need that a lot of people are asking for. A lot of people were hoping it would happen and we were told it wasn't going to happen. So Natalie and I stepped up and.
Natalie Viall
We made it happen.
Nick Viall
And we made it happen. So that's what we will say. That's going to be Thursday. And it's going to be epic. It's going to be fun and I can't wait. It's be messy. It's going to be a lot. It's going to be a lot lot.
Victoria Fuller
So this is very vague, but I'm so excited. I can't wait to find out.
Nick Viall
We told you.
Victoria Fuller
Yes, I know. I'm just pretending.
Nick Viall
No, I know, but what do you think?
Natalie Viall
She was acting.
Victoria Fuller
I was acting. How to do. No, I think it's really exciting. I think people are really going to love it.
Nick Viall
It's going to be a lot of fun. Speaking of acting, I heard a rumor.
Victoria Fuller
Acting. Acting.
Natalie Viall
She's been cast in a film.
Nick Viall
Well, that's just, that's, that's, that's me throwing a little shade at myself.
Victoria Fuller
Oh yeah, because you are an actor.
Nick Viall
I have been paid.
Victoria Fuller
Yes. To act.
Nick Viall
A Christmas Cruise starring Viva K. Fox.
Victoria Fuller
Wait, what?
Nick Viall
Oh my God. Oh my God. Mary, can you show, is this a Hallmark? Can you show Victoria? Well, I mean like it was like Hallmark esque, like, but it wasn't.
Victoria Fuller
It was like the knockoff version.
Nick Viall
It was like the minor leagues of Hallmark.
Victoria Fuller
That's okay.
Nick Viall
Owain Ayan Ayin. What channel? I don't know.
Victoria Fuller
It's very cool.
Natalie Viall
What channel?
Victoria Fuller
I Ion. I know what you're talking about.
Nick Viall
Ion. Yeah, yeah, it was there for, for, it was their Christmas channel. Mary, can you bring up the movie poster for A Christmas Cruise starring Viva K. Fox and, and Nick Fyle? I'm in the poster board. No, you're not. Yeah, it was like right after the Bachelor. So like they, I, I played Bob, the whole area. Thank you very much.
Victoria Fuller
Wow.
Nick Viall
Two scenes.
Natalie Viall
I'm married to an actor.
Victoria Fuller
You are on the post married to an actor.
Nick Viall
I've never seen it.
Victoria Fuller
Oh, you're scared.
Nick Viall
Yeah.
Victoria Fuller
Let's watch it together.
Nick Viall
I don't watch my work.
Victoria Fuller
Put it on the big screen right now.
Natalie Viall
Yeah, he only has scenes. I'm sure we could get through it pretty quick.
Nick Viall
I, I, So anyways, back to this rumor I heard. Yeah, I, I heard a rumor that before the Bachelorette was put on pause that you were on an extraordinarily short list of people who were being considered as the next Bachelorette for the ABC franchise.
Victoria Fuller
Excuse you what? Excuse you? What?
Natalie Viall
Do you feel like that's how you delivered it?
Victoria Fuller
No, I was like, excuse you what? That's what it was. It was more.
Nick Viall
Give us, give us. Can I get the iconic Excuse you what?
Victoria Fuller
That was pure.
Nick Viall
Just.
Natalie Viall
What did he say first?
Victoria Fuller
He said, excuse me. And I said, excuse you what?
Natalie Viall
I got chills, period.
Nick Viall
That was. So anyways, is there any truth to this rumor? And if I can be clear, I heard it from a few people, but, you know, sometimes rumors aren't true.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah. I cannot confirm or deny. No, I can confirm. Yes, I'll confirm.
Nick Viall
And thank God. When I heard that rumor and I heard this rumor after it was put on pause, I also heard that there, you know, that short list were some of your usual suspects of people you might suspect. I was furious. I was furious because I thought that would be an epic decision. They maybe have some good options. There were some other people that people have been calling for, but Peter season was one of the more iconic seasons we haven't had. I don't remember the last time we called a Bachelor or a Bachelorette season iconic. Yeah, you're an iconic character.
Victoria Fuller
Oh, I'm not a character. I'm a person.
Nick Viall
Well, you know.
Victoria Fuller
Well, add your character.
Natalie Viall
Have you ever watched it back and been like, I don't know who that bitch is?
Victoria Fuller
Yeah, all the time. Like, when I see clips and stuff, I'm like, oh, who is she? Yeah, that's so interesting.
Nick Viall
Yeah. But, yeah, I don't know if you're on the top of your list or you never know because they will talk to another people or where you felt fell in. But. So there were at least some conversations.
Victoria Fuller
There was rumbling. There was rumbling. Yeah.
Nick Viall
I'm so upset.
Victoria Fuller
I know.
Nick Viall
I think you would have been fantastic.
Victoria Fuller
Thank you.
Nick Viall
You would have been. They need to bring back some people from that era.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah, I agree. Because we had, like, a cult following, if you will. Like, people defin knew, like, specific lines that we said or specific, like, dates that we went on. And I think that that would have. We'll see what happens in the future.
Natalie Viall
I think it would have pulled older fans back into it.
Nick Viall
I just want you to know that ever since I've heard this rumor, I have been trying to do my part. You want diligence for anyone that I think could be involved in this decision. I've been saying, y'all fucked up and you should have just picked Victoria. Don't Overthink this.
Victoria Fuller
Thank you.
Nick Viall
She would be excellent. It would be dramatic, and it would be an entire season of promos being like, excuse me. What?
Victoria Fuller
No, literally. And I think the thing with that is, like, I think when I first was considering this, it was very much like, I didn't think it was for me. I was like, I don't think I can go back to that. So it took me, like, a minute to adjust to the idea of, like, possibly even doing it. And then after, like, a week, I was like, okay, maybe I'll consider, and I'll have more conversation around it. And then that's when they put everything on pause is what I like, finally.
Natalie Viall
She's not gonna do it. She's not gonna do it.
Victoria Fuller
We have to cancel. The whole season's canceled.
Natalie Viall
Everything's done. So we don't have Victoria. We have nothing.
Victoria Fuller
Yes.
Nick Viall
Yes. And so. And just to be clear, because obviously, people run with rumors, and you weren't actually. You were never actually asked or anything like that.
Victoria Fuller
You were just siblings.
Nick Viall
Conversations.
Victoria Fuller
Conversations.
Nick Viall
Are you interested if we go this direction? Type of stuff? But, like, I'm sure other people were being talked to as well.
Victoria Fuller
Oh, absolutely.
Nick Viall
We don't want to put you in a position where you're claiming that it was, like, a done, because, like, you know, we've heard all these different things, like, oh, so and so was asked and blah, blah, blah, or, you know, yada, yada.
Victoria Fuller
No, and I think that they. From my experience, they ask multiple people, and then you kind of go through another interview process. And so, again, like you said, it was probably narrowed down to a shorter list, and maybe. Or maybe not. I was on that list.
Nick Viall
I think you were on a very, very short list of three.
Victoria Fuller
That's what I heard of two. Wait, really?
Natalie Viall
One, Three.
Nick Viall
I think three.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah. Yeah, I could see that. And, I mean, people obviously will probably deduct who. Whoever else they think it was.
Nick Viall
Yeah, it's pretty easy to guess.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah, it is. But, yeah, no, it was. It was very endearing that they still thought five years later to call me and say, hey, how do you feel about this? And I'm like, well, first I get. I'm like, what the do they want?
Natalie Viall
I'm like, oh, oh, no. I'm like, hello?
Victoria Fuller
I'm, like, kind of scared to answer the phone. I'm. What do you want first? I, like, I didn't answer. I just texted him, like, hey, what's up?
Natalie Viall
I'm busy right now, but can you want to do this over too?
Victoria Fuller
I just, like, texted about it or what's going on. But, no, they all are great over there. And.
Nick Viall
And by all, you mean, like, who do you know who's left working there? Because, like, everyone's been either fired or quit or let go.
Victoria Fuller
It's crazy. It's like, when I was first on the show, one of the, like, producers is now an executive producer there.
Nick Viall
Yeah, it's.
Victoria Fuller
It is weird.
Nick Viall
It's. There's a lot going on there. Can you imagine when they got the hometowns? And then I've been like, hometowns. It will be Victoria's first stop.
Victoria Fuller
Congratulations.
Nick Viall
You didn't show up. Yeah, no. Your family showed up.
Victoria Fuller
No, my family was definitely there. They showed up. I excused Peter from hometown. It's like, actually, this isn't going to happen.
Natalie Viall
So you just walked back inside being.
Nick Viall
Like, hey, guys, did you actually talk to your family that night, like, after? Because, like, when we watched it, it looked like you were just like, I'm not fucking doing this. And, like, this is stupid. And you, like, walked off, and it made it seem like your family was like, where's our kid?
Victoria Fuller
Yeah, like, where's our daughter? Is she okay out there? And they're just, like, talking and waiting. No, I mean, they actually all came outside because they finally allowed them to come outside and see what was happening, and I was just, like, sobbing because, I mean, we all know what happened, and anybody would feel really weird in that situation.
Nick Viall
Remind us. Do I have to? It was a long time ago.
Natalie Viall
Five years. Of course.
Victoria Fuller
Let me go back into my memory bank. I love reliving trauma.
Nick Viall
Yeah. Thank you.
Natalie Viall
Yes. We love a good timeline.
Victoria Fuller
We love a good timeline. Oh, my God.
Nick Viall
We have that saved on our soundboard.
Victoria Fuller
But, no, they ended up coming outside and, you know, consoling me because that was a really weird thing that happened.
Nick Viall
Why did. Why didn't you go? Peter was questioning your integrity.
Victoria Fuller
Yes, he was. He was questioning my integrity.
Natalie Viall
And anyways, you weren't having it.
Victoria Fuller
She was not going to meet my family that night, that's for sure, so. Or ever.
Nick Viall
We now, we. Well, since we're on the topic, we now know that Grant is engaged to Juliana. So congratulations to the happy couple. Thoughts and prayers for Latia.
Natalie Viall
Also, thoughts and prayers for Juliana and Grant as they do. Watch back everything that Grant said to Latia because I thought she was very, like, her way of being like, you're gonna have to have some tough conversations with the things that you said to me.
Nick Viall
Yeah, it'll be interesting. We are recording this before afr. We've seen the finale, but we haven't seen the live afr, so we don't know what Latia said last night. For those of you who watched were not familiar with what happened, you know, whatever confrontation, we'll. We'll obviously talk about that tomorrow. I will say I thought Grant did an excellent job. You know, as someone who knows the position he was in. And, like, Grant is someone who is very green. You can tell, like, he didn't even make it. Like, yourself didn't make it to hometowns.
Victoria Fuller
Made it to.
Nick Viall
No. Yes. I'm sorry. I don't want to, like, hello. Grant didn't even make it to hometowns. You opted out.
Victoria Fuller
Yes.
Nick Viall
Grant wasn't even given the choice to not go.
Victoria Fuller
Poor guy.
Nick Viall
To his hometowns. So he was obviously under the direction clearly, of the show and the producers and I. To me, it's obvious that he is following a lot of other people's leads and trusting a lot of people.
Victoria Fuller
Right.
Nick Viall
Listen, like, the Bachelor, the Bachelorettes, they are accountable for their choices, yada, yada, yada. But, like, he.
Victoria Fuller
I know it's the saying, I love you and then the breaking up.
Nick Viall
It's the. If my only note to Grant is, like, maybe don't kiss her twice or constantly say, but I love you. Like, in general, people just, like, PSA for the world. If you're going to break up with someone, do not say things like, but I still love you and I still care about you. And, like. But not just cut and dry. Be the bad guy. Be the bad guy. Let them be mad. Other than that, though, I thought Grant was, like. When he was like, you know what? You're right. I'm gonna own. Like, he just. He. He took. He knew he was gonna take it on the chin. I thought he did the best he could. He's clearly a guy who's very respectful and, like, did his best. And also, I think he was forced to wait as long as he did, and I think he was told to say things that. And he's in a bad spot. Totally get where Latia is coming from. I don't know what she said last night. You know, she basically made it seem like she was going to come in with a lot of, like, receipts. Receipts were like, well, you have a lot of, like, explaining to do. My guess is, is that, like, it's really not that big of a deal.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah.
Nick Viall
Being I literally, as someone who's been in her position twice, knows exactly what she's going through. I'm sure she spent every day from time Grant broke Up with her to last night thinking about all the things Grant said to her that felt up. That felt like she was let on misled. And I have no doubt that she's justified to feel that way. But, like, I don't think he did anything, like, really egregious. Like.
Natalie Viall
Right.
Nick Viall
We already know nothing happened in the fantasy suite because Latia's is like. No, I'm. I'm good. Like, well, we assume. Yeah. But I don't think Latias. I'm guessing Latia is not going to come out and be like, yeah, yeah, yeah. She's gonna be as stupid as me.
Victoria Fuller
Yes. You're an idiot.
Nick Viall
Yeah. So there's that throwback.
Victoria Fuller
Throwback tbg. How do you feel about that? Natalie?
Nick Viall
Don't. Don't think you need to do that. So also must suck to be in her position because, like. Like, if you want. If you have a broken heart, you at least want the world to see. And I just don't know if a lot of people watch, you know, oh, season, so.
Victoria Fuller
Oh, they didn't.
Nick Viall
I don't think it's a highly performing season. No, I don't.
Natalie Viall
Well, I don't think the past couple have been well. And also Peters, you know.
Victoria Fuller
Well, of course.
Nick Viall
Well, did. They had a. They had a nice bump with Joey and then.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah, I would say Joey's did well. But I just. Yeah. I don't know if I even watching it, like, as a viewer and I know the position. She's like, sort of in it. I don't know all of. I think that breakup was just really strange to me from both parties.
Natalie Viall
I think you could just really tell that she was blindsided as.
Victoria Fuller
Oh, yeah, yeah. But also, I don't know, I just.
Nick Viall
Like, she was clear. I mean, they were pumping her full of confidence.
Victoria Fuller
I know.
Nick Viall
The night before.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah, of course.
Nick Viall
The morning of. You. You have nothing to worry about.
Victoria Fuller
You could not do that. And then they make her. Oh, yeah. And then they make you. Like, then she's doing B roll. She's like walking through the rain and she like, can barely move her little feet. I was like, oh, she's walking to her.
Nick Viall
No, when they. I guarantee you, when she woke up that day, the first producer to greet her said, you're getting engaged today.
Victoria Fuller
Oh, for sure.
Nick Viall
Guaranteed.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah, definitely. Yeah.
Natalie Viall
They deserve prison.
Victoria Fuller
Oh, no, they do no TV show.
Natalie Viall
Well, and that's not making a TV show. They don't need to say that to make a TV show.
Victoria Fuller
I know, but it makes for good tv when you have like a Lead, who's going to follow whatever you say. And so they probably did. They probably encouraged him to tell her, like, I love you, and I love you. And I think that's where you kind of have to. When you're in your position, where you have to be like, no, I'm not going to say that.
Nick Viall
What's also another thing they do say, which is true, right? Like, if the lead's having a lot of reluctance, especially if it's the Bachelor, and it's a. When it's the Bachelor, they basically will ask the lead the fall on the sword, right? Because if the lead's feeling bad, they're like, I'm feeling bad. They're like, listen, I know this feels shitty. They. They kind of said the same thing to Caitlin when I was in Latia's shoes. But it's like the best moment anyone has is when they get broken up with, you know, and when they. When. When America feels sorry for them, right? So they will convince the lead to follow through by saying, like, listen. And they're not wrong. I mean, there. There's a lot of truth to the statement by saying, you know, it's going to feel shitty. And, yeah, it's gonna. I know you're doing a shitty thing, but you're gonna. You're gonna give her this moment, right? You know, and you're gonna give us.
Victoria Fuller
This moment to give it to her.
Nick Viall
There is a lot of truth to that because, like, this is. You know, again, we don't know what America's saying. We know how many people watched last night. We don't know what she said at afr, but, you know, the only thing we are anticipating in the AFR is what was Latia gonna say? You know, and she now was given this moment to be a star. When she got in the limo, she was like, you know, gave that your. She gave us a little audition. You know, it's not. You know, I'm still looking for it. Maybe I'll find it someday.
Victoria Fuller
I heard that. I was like, oh, there we go.
Natalie Viall
Do you think they give them that to say if.
Nick Viall
If they don't sit on their own?
Victoria Fuller
Yeah, they do. And, like little BTs. But they'll, like, drive around with you until you, like, get it right. Yeah, yeah. Like, you'll be driving around. Then they're like, better cry more or, like.
Natalie Viall
And if you do need more tears.
Nick Viall
If you do need more tears, they do have Visine in the crowd.
Victoria Fuller
No. Oh, yeah, Ruthless.
Natalie Viall
That sounds like the severance. What they do in severance and they make you write the. The thing over and over again until you're really sorry.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah, I am finished. No, I'm not finished yet. I know. I'm, like, not caught up on anything where.
Natalie Viall
What have you been doing?
Victoria Fuller
Living my life. I don't just watch TV all day. Thank you very much.
Nick Viall
Earmuff for a second.
Victoria Fuller
Oh, my gosh. I can't earmuffs. Because I have to. Should I take them off? Yeah. Okay.
Nick Viall
I just want to, like. Just for the people who did watch, I found the ending of Severance very.
Natalie Viall
You have to talk quieter.
Nick Viall
Okay. Sorry.
Victoria Fuller
He's screaming.
Nick Viall
Did you. Did you find the ending satisfying, disappointing, or. Or.
Natalie Viall
It left me excited for the next season.
Nick Viall
I would agree. At first I was a bit. I was a bit frustrated that. Are you not. Can you hear me?
Victoria Fuller
I have to hover.
Nick Viall
Okay. I was a bit frustrated about. At first because. Because, like, any was like, oh, I'm not gonna go anywhere. But at least she got out.
Natalie Viall
Yeah, that's why it was very satisfying. It makes me excited for the night.
Nick Viall
Had she not gone. Because we need a Season 3. If anyone complaining about the end, then, like, did you want this to be a season?
Natalie Viall
And what do you really think about Victoria?
Nick Viall
Yeah, I don't know. She don't think she's a lot.
Natalie Viall
Oh, yeah, we're done. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're done.
Victoria Fuller
Fuck. Is that about Light Lotus?
Natalie Viall
No, Severance.
Victoria Fuller
Okay.
Nick Viall
Do you just want to watch them tonight and come back tomorrow?
Victoria Fuller
Yeah, I would love to do that, actually.
Nick Viall
Okay.
Victoria Fuller
Okay.
Nick Viall
All right. Victoria's going to be our guest tomorrow for reality recap.
Victoria Fuller
I'm never leaving.
Nick Viall
Great. All right, well, wait, wait.
Natalie Viall
I guess we can talk about this tomorrow. But since we are on the topic of Severance and White Lotus. Did you see that? Jennifer Coolidge gives spicy update on how White Lotus changed her sex life. She said, these men like you better because they feel like you went through something. That show really upped my game. Do they think that she, like, actually died and they're like, oh, my, These.
Victoria Fuller
Gays trying to murder me.
Natalie Viall
Wow, isn't that crazy?
Victoria Fuller
Period says pop off.
Natalie Viall

Nick Viall
She should.
Victoria Fuller
I love that for her.
Natalie Viall
I would love to know her roster.
Victoria Fuller
We love an older.
Nick Viall
Like, who's her. Who's her Everest.
Natalie Viall
We also do love an older man. Maybe she's going older. And I love that for her even more.
Nick Viall
Speaking of age gaps when we announced our relationship, I was a bit nervous. Like, I was like, oh, the least. But like, I just was imagining all the names that made me throw in my direction.
Victoria Fuller
Like, what?
Natalie Viall
What about my direction? You weren't thinking of that. She was.
Victoria Fuller
He was not thinking about you during that time.
Natalie Viall
You weren't thinking of child bride. Because that was really, really stuck with me.
Nick Viall
Yeah, well, try to comment that on our Instagram now. You won't be able to because he.
Victoria Fuller
Has blocked those words, period.
Natalie Viall
My mental health.
Victoria Fuller
Thank you very much.
Nick Viall
Recently or yesterday, Tiger woods announced his new girlfriend.
Victoria Fuller
Wonderful. Yeah, I actually saw that on my timeline. Not Facebook, Timeline. It's. Was it feed, Feed, feed? No, I'm not. But the only thing I could see really was like the receding hairline on her.
Natalie Viall
Him.
Victoria Fuller
On him.
Natalie Viall
Oh, I was shocked.
Nick Viall
I don't care who he's dating. Why is he going there?
Victoria Fuller
I was like, you need to plug so much money. What are we doing? You need to go to Turkey, get a wig, something.
Nick Viall
He doesn't even go to Turkey. Don't those guys go to Turkey because it's like less expensive?
Victoria Fuller
No, apparently it's like really good for them. Like, I don't know.
Natalie Viall
Like, I think in Turkey they've really mastered.
Victoria Fuller
Mastered the procedure. Here they don't like, it's not just.
Nick Viall
Like a Groupon thing.
Victoria Fuller
No, it's. They do a really good job.
Nick Viall
Okay.
Victoria Fuller
I had a friend that went over there.
Nick Viall
It is seem odd that with all the money he has and he still.
Victoria Fuller
Has a receding hairline. Anyways, back to who he's dating anyway.
Nick Viall
Who is he? He's dating a Vanessa Trump. I don't even know if we're allowed to say that word because it's triggering for some people.
Victoria Fuller
Very bad word.
Natalie Viall
But she's not an. Was just mar. She was married to his son.
Nick Viall
Which one? Doesn't matter.
Victoria Fuller
I like my suitcase.

Like Marriott. She's like Trump baby.
Natalie Viall
She said it's better than Smith.
Victoria Fuller
Yep.
Nick Viall

Nick Viall
Okay.
Natalie Viall

Victoria Fuller
She is not invited to family dinners. She's not going to Thanksgiving.
Nick Viall
What? I mean, because Tiger woods kind of like, you know. Don't you want Tiger woods to your dinner party?
Natalie Viall

Moving on.
Victoria Fuller
No.
Nick Viall
Okay.
Natalie Viall
Could not tell you honestly what her hair color even is.
Victoria Fuller
It was blonde, but I barely noticed. With the results. You can't get away.
Nick Viall
You're still stuck on that.
Victoria Fuller
I'm stuck on it.

Natalie Viall
Gets married and I was reading lines with him. Yeah, we didn't get very.
Nick Viall

Natalie Viall
Should we get into some southern charm?
Nick Viall
You watch that?
Natalie Viall
Did you know, first of all, did you know that this episode was called Arrested Development?
Nick Viall
I do now because I saw it, which is kind of great.
Natalie Viall
Can they take that?
Nick Viall
It is a term. I understand it's a title of a very famous good show. But it's like, it's like saying, can you take the word friends? Okay, okay.
Victoria Fuller
That was a good analogy. Fine, I'm sold.
Natalie Viall
Good to know.
Victoria Fuller
Moving on.
Nick Viall
So we can still use the word friends and the Arrested Development. It's a bit of a dig to their cast how. Well, yeah, you know what Arrested Development means.
Natalie Viall
Let's not do this.
Victoria Fuller
Let's get the. Let's get the Mary Definition stoppage or.
Leia
Failure in the normal progression of physical or mental development.
Nick Viall
Oh, like, it's suggesting that, like, Shep. Possibly Craig. Possibly.
Leia
It doesn't like Peter Pan syndrome.
Natalie Viall
It just named the cast that. It didn't say Shep or Craig.
Nick Viall
Well, Austin and Craig are the stars, obviously, of this. I mean, let's not pretend they're not the main focus of the show.
Victoria Fuller
They really were. It was like five episodes of the.
Nick Viall
Bahamas and they are all 40 year old men who for various reasons are like, Shep has hats in his living room. Like, it looks like a college dorm.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah.
Natalie Viall
The main thing I took from this episode is that when they're forced to throw a party for an episode. Yeah, I don't want to go.
Victoria Fuller
No, I do not want to go.
Natalie Viall
It looks so boring.
Nick Viall
Manufacturing reality TV parties are brutal.
Victoria Fuller
I hate that because, like, the final episode, you can tell that they were forced to do this. Like, you know, everyone get together. It's the final episode and it's boring.
Natalie Viall
I was like, is there even music? Everyone's just like, small talking.
Victoria Fuller
No. You know, there's no music because they can't have music because they're filming, so they're just talking.
Leia
I just really appreciated Ms. Pat when she just got there, walked straight inside and was like, it's too hot for this.
Victoria Fuller
Yes. She walked straight inside. She.
Natalie Viall
Isn't she a producer on the show. Then why would she interrupt an argument to say goodbye to her?
Victoria Fuller
Because she don't give that candidate.
Nick Viall
There's like, producers. And then there's been like, you know.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah. She's like, I'm out. Like, it's like, knock, knock.
Natalie Viall
She clearly isn't there to, like, keep the drama ensuing.
Victoria Fuller
No.
Natalie Viall
She was like, I have to say my goodbyes to my friends.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah.
Natalie Viall
My young friends. Yeah.
Victoria Fuller
She's like, bye. They're like, arguing.
Natalie Viall
But that place did look empty and not fun and also place I don't want to go.
Victoria Fuller
How do you guys feel about. This is my podcast now. How do you feel about the whole JT drama?
Nick Viall
You're allowed to ask questions.
Victoria Fuller
Okay, good.
Nick Viall
This is like.
Victoria Fuller
This is a conversation.
Natalie Viall
I think he said something up and he is, like, really trying to.
Nick Viall
He's finding. He's trying to figure out what word best goes with the word black.
Victoria Fuller
Okay.
Natalie Viall
He's like, I said a cute black girl. Woman. A woman. I called you. That's what I said. And then it's like, all of you just. Why'd you just describe her at all. Like, why couldn't you just say, like.
Nick Viall
There'S this great person.
Natalie Viall
Yeah, her name's Vanita.
Victoria Fuller
Right. Like, he was getting, like, just too descriptive with it.
Natalie Viall
Yeah.
Victoria Fuller
I don't know. I don't. I don't know how I feel about that whole situation.
Natalie Viall
Do you like him?
Victoria Fuller
No, it's not that I like him. I. I just don't know if they're, like, making reality TV or if he actually did something because she continues to stand up for him. So that's why I'm like, wait, are. Are the producers just making this whole thing a thing, or is it that he's a shitty person?
Nick Viall
Well, we had her on a couple weeks ago post filming, and she was less team Team JT at that point.
Victoria Fuller
Okay.
Nick Viall
She wasn't like, oh, he's a horrible person. And, you know.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah.
Nick Viall
Like, it wasn't like a complete, like, 180, but she was.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah.
Nick Viall
Seemed less Team JT. Also, like, at the end of this episode, they kind of gave us, like, because it was a season finale, like, first they. They. According to the show, they started dating. And I'm like, well, wait, didn't he say he had a girlfriend? So, like, was he dating this girl when he allegedly had a girlfriend?
Natalie Viall
Whose side are you on, Taylor or Sally's?
Victoria Fuller
This is. I love Sally because I know her personally. And so Sally and I, we have mutuals. But also she came on for, like, five minutes on Bachelor in Paradise, in.
Nick Viall
Three minutes on Clayton, season of the.
Victoria Fuller
Bachelor, and in those five minutes that she was on, we talked for about two and a half. So her and I.
Natalie Viall
You got to know her real well?
Victoria Fuller
Yes, very well. No, but I really like her. And we kind of just keep in contact through social. So I really like her. I also. I just feel like girl drama is just. I don't take a side. I just like Sally and I know her personally.
Natalie Viall
You think they're just trying to. They're just like, I just.
Victoria Fuller
I can. Yeah. I just think it's, like, stupid. It's like.
Natalie Viall
I mean, it definitely is stupid. I think I will say the stuff in the beginning where it was like, Sally was really coming after Taylor and Gaston.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah.
Natalie Viall
And it was like, you're in a relationship, like, yeah, it's. And Taylor came on here and she kind of explained, like. Like, I was coming back into the season to, like, mend my relationships with these women because of last season with, like, the whole Olivia and Austin thing.
Victoria Fuller
Right.
Natalie Viall
And it was like Sally took that opportunity to get closer to the women by, like, also piling on to Taylor.
Nick Viall
I imagine it was more like the producers. Like, that's a great plan, Taylor. But we're gonna bring in Sally and she's gonna start some with you.
Victoria Fuller
And I'm.
Nick Viall
I'm glad that you want to like men fences. But we're.
Victoria Fuller
But that's not gonna happen here, babe.
Nick Viall
Like, we just, like, not good for the girl. Yeah.
Victoria Fuller
And I can see that now. It's like, once you see it, you're like, well, we know why Sally was brought in.
Nick Viall
Did you think that Shep was gonna pull away from that kiss that they kept teasing all episode towards the end?
Victoria Fuller
Okay, can we talk about that?
Natalie Viall
Really?
Victoria Fuller
Because I'm a huge Southern charm fan. Like, I've watched since day one and I. Yeah. Period, by the way. So I feel like. Like I, like, know them in a sense, even though I don't know them. And I feel like he, like, wasn't into it.
Natalie Viall
Well, they. Body language wise teasing it. It was like, not. It was showing that he might be like, oh, like, taken by surprise. He, like, wasn't. He was looking away. She kind of grabbed him and pulled him in it all.
Victoria Fuller
Everyone was watching Shep over, like, seasons, and you can tell when he's, like, really into somebody. And so when she went in for, like. Yes.
Nick Viall
As a guy, like, if you're not. You're not doing your. The 90. Like the hitch. 90, you know, like, he was kind of back.
Victoria Fuller
I agree.
Nick Viall
If. Well, if anyone. But if Grabbed my face.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah.
Nick Viall
My. My reaction would like, I.
Natalie Viall
You're saying the man has to be like, 90 leaned in. It's like the hitch.
Nick Viall
Yeah. I'm going 10 and. And someone grabs my face to bring me in. I'm.
Natalie Viall
Does that. You say that? I. We have to go 50.
Victoria Fuller
50.
Natalie Viall
Well, you are married. No, no. In bed. When I say. When I say, can I have a kiss? And you're like, that's what I.
Nick Viall
Me being so lazy. Yeah.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah. That's when he's being lazy. That's not what he does when he's on dates with other girls.
Nick Viall
But I don't know if a kiss.
Natalie Viall
Is coming when he's in bed with his wife across the street.
Nick Viall
Kiss good night.
Natalie Viall
I'm like, this does not meet me halfway. I'm like, you said men go 90.
Victoria Fuller
Does not apply to you. You are his wife.
Nick Viall
That's a 20 minute argument before bed. Yikes.
Natalie Viall
If you want to know what. What our. What do they call it? What our pillow talk is. Oh, yeah.
Victoria Fuller
It's Me being really angry, it's like.
Nick Viall
No, fine, I'll go 85.
Natalie Viall
She's like, oh, did you think that Austin being like, sally, show us your boobs.
Victoria Fuller
Show us your tits.
Natalie Viall
Having a girlfriend at home, you know.
Victoria Fuller
If I was the girlfriend, I wouldn't be super excited about that.
Natalie Viall
Oh, 100%.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah. I wouldn't be super pumped on it, but. But I think it was more playful than it was. Like, I want to see your boobs.
Nick Viall
Yeah, I don't.
Victoria Fuller
Show me right now.
Natalie Viall
It definitely was in a playful way, but I do feel like him knowing he's mic'd, him knowing he's being filmed him with a bunch of other people.
Victoria Fuller
No, it's crazy.
Nick Viall
Listen, me, when I flirt, it's playful as fuck.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah.
Nick Viall
But, like, I'm married now.
Natalie Viall
Yeah. Was it boobs or tits?
Victoria Fuller
It was tits. I think he said tits. Show us your tits. Which is like, that's more grass.
Nick Viall
It's.
Victoria Fuller
Well, but it's also like a. It's also like a saying. People say, you know, I like tits.
Natalie Viall
I like tits.
Victoria Fuller
Show us your tits. I think it's, like, funny, but I have very crude humor, so maybe other people don't think it's so funny.
Natalie Viall
And I don't know if Sally did.
Victoria Fuller
And I did not think she. Well, I think towards the end, she was kind of like, oh, this was a joke. It's not that big of a deal. But I mean, I didn't think that that was that bad.
Natalie Viall
I actually did think it was bad because.
Victoria Fuller
Oh, you did?
Natalie Viall
He has his girlfriend at home and.
Victoria Fuller
Like, no, it's not nice to her. Yeah.
Natalie Viall
Pookielicious or whatever they call each other.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah, that's true.
Nick Viall
How do we feel finding out that Paige asked Craig to buy an engagement ring?
Victoria Fuller
Okay. I love Paige.
Nick Viall
We love Paige.
Natalie Viall
Love Paige. Obsessed.
Nick Viall
We're not here to really take.
Victoria Fuller
No, I'm taking sides and it is pages. Okay.
Nick Viall
Okay.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah. So period. Like, period. I think that people can change their mind, and that's free will. And if she thought.
Nick Viall
Of course she can change her mind.
Natalie Viall
Yeah.
Victoria Fuller
And if she thought that, oh, I think I was gonna marry this person. And in eight months time, there was things that had happened and it her feel otherwise, I think she's totally able to say, I'm thinking, I want to get engaged. This is what I want for an engagement ring. I don't think that's crazy. And then eight months later, you're like, actually, I changed my mind.
Natalie Viall
Hey, let's slow it down a little bit. Yeah. Yeah.
Victoria Fuller
I don't see anything wrong.
Nick Viall
But we have empathy for Craig. No. Or is it just like, ew?
Victoria Fuller
I mean, no, it's not that. I, I definitely have empathy for him because I'm sure that's really hard. But, But I don't, I don't think that. But I don't know. But I don't think that it's just overnight, like, there was obviously signs and the public doesn't know about with them that, like, there was indicators that this probably wasn't gonna, like, work out.
Natalie Viall
I do see his side, and I think two things can be true at once. I think he can mean well in both aspects of, like, wanting to support her to the fullest extent on this tour and also being like, hey, I do want our relationship to still be, like, priority in your life. Because, like, we have been together for three years. Like, we, we were going on seeing each other every single week, and now this is, like, gonna put a strain on our relationship. So we really have to, like, make sure we make our relationship a priority so it doesn't break under all this, like, added stress and pressure of, like, you being so busy and us not seeing each other anymore and her taking that as, like, you don't support me at all.
Victoria Fuller
I was like, well, I feel like.
Natalie Viall
Maybe he just really wants to make sure his relationship's solid, which I think.
Victoria Fuller
They'Re just going in two different directions.
Natalie Viall
Totally two different directions.
Victoria Fuller
She's thinking, like, I have this amazing career ahead of me. And I could see how she would feel, like, almost pulled down by him being like, like, well, when are you going to come back to Charleston and when are you going to be like, it's almost like, well, I have these things that I have going for me.
Natalie Viall
And it's like, I do feel like this is a season or when this was filming whatever in their relationship where, like, it's not normal. They have to adapt and, like, maybe Craig has to fly to all these different cities to be with her on tour if he wants to, like, make. Because she, she can't.
Nick Viall
You know, one part, I, I, I was very Team Craig. And not that it's not Team CR Page, it's more like when they were talking about her tour and how she seemed to be kind of annoyed with the idea of even having a boyfriend and, like, having to consider his, like, emotional needs. And he was just kind of like, I mean, listen, I just kind of, you know, like, if, let's say now he went on tour, you know, and, like, she had to travel or I thought to go on tour. Like, I. I would think that we would. Would go out of our way to be, like, you know, going out with some friends or whatever. And, like, Paige didn't want to even have to, like, let her then boyfriend know kind of, like, what she was doing, period.
Victoria Fuller
And I think that's why they shouldn't be together.
Nick Viall
For sure.
Victoria Fuller
Like, she just.
Natalie Viall
She made the right decision.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah.
Nick Viall
But, like, I. That's what I'm. I just.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah.
Nick Viall
I wonder if it was based off that. Like, because when she was saying it, they were still together, and when she's saying it, she.
Natalie Viall
On some. Are you talking about on Summer House, when she was talking to Amanda and she was like, I feel like I'm gonna hate maybe.
Nick Viall
Yeah. Like, there's a. You know.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah.
Nick Viall
I also. Can I ask, does anyone know this answer? Sierra? Leah. Like, what timeline are we in when we watch Southern Charm and Summer House? Are we. Summer House is after they're filming after, because we're watching at the same time.
Victoria Fuller
So it feels like the timeline's the same start Summer House, because they go to the Hamptons in July.
Nick Viall
Okay.
Victoria Fuller
And then before that is when they film, because that's, like, what, May. Like, March through May for Southern Charm.
Nick Viall
And I know, like, Charm obviously started before, but now we're watching these episodes, and, like, Craig and Paige are in these opposite episodes, and it feels like the same timeline, but it's actually a.
Victoria Fuller
Very different timeline after.
Nick Viall
But, yeah, it just kind of feels like when Paige was saying this, being in a relationship with Craig, I was very much understanding where Craig's coming from. Like, he's not allowed to check in.
Victoria Fuller
There's the she, she.
Leia
The Summer House after show. Paige shared that, and Amanda shared that Craig would, like, send her documentaries, like the Abbott documentary, and the whole theme of it was how Tor ruins families and ruins lives. So it's, like, pretty, like, manipulative being, like, before you go on tour. Sorry you're feeling anxious about it, but here, watch this. Maybe you shouldn't go. Essentially.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah.
Nick Viall
I hate that.
Natalie Viall
Yeah, that's not a great. You know, she also says, I think I loved him so much that I tolerated too much. And now that I'm out of it, I look back at things and I'm like, oh, wait. Anytime she had a personal professional milestone, Craig would find a way to make it about him. It was just embarrassing. So that's something that I look back on now, and I'm like, oh, wow. I was really very blinded. I had to do a lot of damage control.
Nick Viall
I don't I wouldn't commute. I don't think that's the best communication. But I don't, like, I don't think we can assume that it was malicious or manipulative. Maybe he's just like, hey, you know, like, I'm really worried about us. Like, in that moment, Craig is thinking, I just bought her an engagement ring. I'm going to marry this person. Like, before we got engaged, I was under the impression that we were each other's top priority.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah.
Nick Viall
You know, and if you're buying an engagement ring, like, work aside, like, you're still operating as if we are the most important thing. And that's. That was what Craig was doing. Clearly, Paige just wasn't feeling that.
Victoria Fuller
Exactly.
Nick Viall
She had the right to feel that way, too. But to like, oh, he sent these videos and then speak on it as if, like, it's some evil, manipulative shit. I don't know if we can assume that.
Natalie Viall
But she did also say that she and Craig probably didn't have great communication because she was too straightforward and stern for his liking. It was like, you're harsh. So I would kind of have to stay more quiet when he would voice his opinions because. Because he would always take it as, like, a personal attack fair. And that's hard to.
Nick Viall
She's entitled to her opinion. But every time she speaks on Craig, she is speaking as if, like, he's the problem. And I get. From her point of view, from her.
Victoria Fuller
Perspective, I get it.
Nick Viall
Yeah.
Victoria Fuller
You know, and also, I think over a period of time, there's going to be, like, hurt.
Nick Viall
Yeah. I just, like, you know, it always seems like when. When two people speak on these relationships, like, I think there's a difference between, like, Paige feelings towards Craig and Craig's team feelings towards Paige in terms of, like, conflict in the relationship and like, us fans, audience members, like, as if someone actually did something wrong or like, there's something they shouldn't do. Is. It's like, well, you know. Yeah, I can. Why. That was frustrating. I can see why they fought. I can see why they maybe weren't on the same page. But, like, we all went on, like, oh, he sent a video.
Natalie Viall
But that is. That is definitely. If she's not feeling, like, supported by him about going on this tour and then he sends her like, hey, watch this. It ruins and families. Like that, to Sierra's point, like, is a little manipulative.
Victoria Fuller
I agree it's manipulative, but, I mean, I guess.
Nick Viall
But maybe he felt like he's like.
Victoria Fuller
He's like, so sticking up for Craig, he's like, well, maybe he.
Nick Viall
As the guy I do, like, I can understand where, like, he felt like maybe his needs weren't getting met, you know, just trying to communicate things. And, like, yeah, their relationship was very much like Paige having no problem being like, this is how I feel. Fucking deal with it. And Craig clearly was like. Like, I.
Natalie Viall
It doesn't seem like that was like, maybe that's how it is on camera, but it seems like behind closed doors.
Victoria Fuller
She was saying silence herself.
Natalie Viall
Yeah, she's saying, like, I was too harsh, and if I was too harsh, he would.
Nick Viall
Like, it's like, were you silen. Silenced or were you silenced?
Victoria Fuller
Yeah, but maybe. Maybe she was, like, building resentment over a period of time with him, you.
Nick Viall
Know, and kind of sounds like she hates him now.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah, well, I mean, he. He didn't really stick up for her or anything when there was, like, cheating accusations.
Nick Viall
Oh, I'm team Craig there.
Victoria Fuller
Really?
Nick Viall
It's.
Natalie Viall
It's a good point. Nick has really.
Nick Viall
You broke my heart. You're my ex. You're not my responsibility anymore. Good luck. Do your best. But, like, your emotional needs are not my problem anymore. She's made that clear. So, like.
Victoria Fuller
Well, now she has.
Nick Viall
Yeah, but, like, it's not his job. Like, he. She. Listen, she went about her life. Good for her. It. She. You're right. She has every right to break up with them. People break up all the time. They're hurt feelings. It is what it is. And that's what. And that's kind of my point. We're just talking about hurt feelings. And when there's hurt feelings, it doesn't mean someone's the actual bad guy. Like, if I have hurt feelings, I might think you're the bad guy, but that doesn't mean you're the bad guy. Right? And so. And great, she wanted to operate how she wanted to operate. I don't know what's been going on, who she's dating, but, like, whether there was a crossover or not, like, we all know how public perception works, right? We have Pedro Pascal going out to dinner with Jennifer Aniston. And now all of a sudden, there's dating rumors. You know what I'm saying? She knows how this shit works. And she was like, hey, you're going to be seeing a lot of me. And she was going out in public to games with another guy. Shortly after, she's responsible for her rumors being talked about her. And she wants then Craig to step up and say, don't worry, guys. She would ever do Something. How does he know he was blindsided by the breakup? He doesn't know what's going on. Anytime we get blindsided by a breakup, what's the first thought? Is there someone else? What's going on? You know, and he's. He. So he doesn't know. And he's supposed to, what, have her back? Meanwhile, she's going on all these, like, post shows, being like, he's sending me manipulative texts and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, and throwing him under the bus. And he's supposed to, what, still be like, she's my queen. Don't worry. Worry.
Victoria Fuller
Fine.
Natalie Viall
Did you think that Craig should have, like, immediately talked to Kyle on switching to Summer House? That whole, like, awkward conversation at the table where he's like, I'm not gonna.
Victoria Fuller
Get into this right now.
Natalie Viall
You haven't watched Summer House?
Victoria Fuller
No, I didn't watch the newest one for the past, like, three.
Natalie Viall
Oh, my God.
Nick Viall
Oh, I love Summer House.
Victoria Fuller
No, I do too. Ah, whatever.
Nick Viall
Oh, What? Hey, Leia. Yes, Hannah talked. I don't know, she did a live or something. Hannah Burner.
Justin
Yes.
Nick Viall
She talked about, like, getting fired from Bravo. Like, I don't remember. Like, why did she get fired? Like, that was before my time.
Leia
People didn't like Hannah on her seasons. First of all, she didn't just, like, in general. She didn't get along with a lot of the cast. There was a lot of drama. Her last season was a Covid season, so they never got to really leave the house. And she thinks that she was unfair portrayed. But then it was supposedly that Kyle had an issue with her, and she's claiming that Kyle got her fired.
Nick Viall
So her truth is Kyle did get her fired.
Leia
He's claiming that that's not true. But from what I've heard, she thinks it's because she did a deal with Truly, that he got her fired. But he was also fighting with her the last season she was on. So it's very possible.
Nick Viall
I mean, that would be fucking crazy for. For Kyle to expect that no one in the cast is supposed to, like, make money off of any other liquor, period. That would be.
Natalie Viall
Especially if he's not paying anyone else to, like, support his brand.
Victoria Fuller
So wild.
Leia
Well, that's why I kind of, like, want him to discuss what. What he thinks is the lie that's being spread about him. Because that's what we don't understand either. Like, if she didn't get fired because of that, then why did she get fired?
Victoria Fuller
Right?
Leia
Because that's what she's going around saying.
Victoria Fuller
Exactly.
Leia
But he has not given us any other.
Nick Viall
Also, yeah, her firing seems different than other Bravo firings. Like, you know, it's like they kind of ask someone else because they're a, like, not that good of tv. They're not that dramatic or they get put on pause because they get a DUI or something. But, like, Hannah was messy and dramatic. That's good tv. How do you get fired for being good tv?
Natalie Viall
It's like, how much pull does Kyle really have with production to, like.
Victoria Fuller
But Kyle and Amanda are, like, huge storyline.
Nick Viall
It feels like with some of these shows, like, Southern Charm. It's. What's his name? Who's the producer? Whitney. And then, like, they're all. They're always, like, in Jack, like, you know, despite whatever's going on with Jackson. The Valley, like, Jax kind of organized the Valley. Kyle was like, the brainchild, I think, behind Summer House. And it feels like every one of these shows has one person who's kind of like, orchestrating. Orchestrating it and has a lot more poll with production. And it's like the producer pet then. Then some of the other cast.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah, he's probably, like, kicking his feet, being like, I don't want her on here anymore. There's always, like, one little teacher's pet, so that makes sense.
Natalie Viall
West and Sierra, I'm kind of loving their dynamic.
Victoria Fuller
Like, this season, I haven't gotten too deep into it.
Nick Viall
I need them to hook up one more time.
Natalie Viall
Sierra admitted she was like.
Victoria Fuller
I know.
Natalie Viall
She, like, called him out, like, about something, and then. Then she's like, God, like, the time.
Nick Viall
I need a drunk night and I need a hookup and a regretful morning.
Natalie Viall
And then I need them to just, like. And, like, be cool and, like, just.
Victoria Fuller
I know, but, like, for her heart. I don't want her to.
Natalie Viall
I know.
Nick Viall
Her heart is fine.
Victoria Fuller
I know. I think she really liked him.
Nick Viall
I think she did. I think it's more bruised ego.
Victoria Fuller
Really.
Nick Viall
Oh, yeah.
Natalie Viall
I think at this point, it is because of all, like, the press he did after. And, like, that's kind of what she kept bringing up. This is like, why do you keep talking about if you don't want to.
Nick Viall
She obviously is. Has a lot going for her. Yeah, she has.
Victoria Fuller
She's so pretty.
Nick Viall
Some might find her to be the most. Ella, one of the more eligible people out there.
Victoria Fuller
Absolutely.
Nick Viall
And I think she's told this a lot, as, you know, often people are. And then you have west, who a lot of people, like, have. You know, he's funny and he's. I mean, in person we met. He's a very good looking guy. He's 6 foot. He's tall. Like, he's. He also. But like, you know, he presents as more like the abroad, like just another guy. And yeah, everyone tells Sierra that West is beneath her. And everyone tells Wes that Sierra's a can't get better. And then Wes is the one who turned her down. And I just think, you know, you got Bru, you know, and that's a recipe for bruised ego.
Victoria Fuller
Okay, I can see it.
Natalie Viall
I mean, I.
Victoria Fuller
But I do think she's better than him maybe so.
Natalie Viall
As do I. And I think we do. I. I need the episode of Lexi and Sierra.
Victoria Fuller
Oh my gosh. Whatever, Jesse.
Natalie Viall
I need to see it.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah, I, I want to know what happened because. Because I feel like why would Sierra be like encroaching on their thing?
Nick Viall
She should know better.
Victoria Fuller
What? What do you mean? Oh, she should know better. Like as in what?
Nick Viall
Yeah. Why didn't I say that was so wrong? I just. Yeah. I mean, shouldn't she?
Victoria Fuller
No, I don't. But like, also flirting is so subjective. Like they've known each other for a long time, so I feel like maybe their dynamic comes off flirty, but Lexi's like new to the group. Group.
Nick Viall
I don't think people who are very good flirts and I don't know Sierra that well, but I'm guessing she's pretty good if she wants to be.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah, but if she wanted Jesse, couldn't she just have them?
Natalie Viall
She said, I don't think she wants.
Nick Viall
Jesse, but there's a difference in wanting Jesse and wanting Jesse to want her. Or like flirt or just like flirt. Of course. But Jesse is pursuing a relationship.
Natalie Viall
So why is it Sierra's fault?
Victoria Fuller
Yeah, why is it Sierra's fault?
Nick Viall
Of course it's Jesse's fault. Jesse is responsible, but like, does that mean, like she can do whatever she wants?
Natalie Viall
She's responding to Jesse and I. She's responding to the energy that Jesse's bringing her. If Jesse approached her and was like.
Nick Viall
Hey, they can't both be slightly wrong.
Natalie Viall
Good to see you, then she wouldn't be like, oh my God, like, hug me. She plays into it because he gives. He feeds it to her. He does.
Victoria Fuller
And. But she's loyalty isn't to Lexi.
Nick Viall
Clearly.
Victoria Fuller
You know, I'm just. I clearly, I feel like she knew Jesse before, so it's not like her and Lexi are super close.
Nick Viall
I'm just, I'm just couldn't. I could be wrong. But I am just guessing if the Roles were reversed and some new baddie came in right to the house and like, last season.
Victoria Fuller
But I do like Lexi when.
Nick Viall
When. When west and Sierra were going out doing it and she started, you know, if Sarah was new to the house and, like, there was someone already there.
Victoria Fuller
You're like role reversal.
Nick Viall
I just think she might feel like, you know, upset that.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah, I. I see. I get it. I get it.
Nick Viall
I see everyone see Lexi saying, you're not being a girl's girl. Girl kind of thing.
Victoria Fuller
Totally.
Nick Viall
You know, just.
Victoria Fuller
But also maybe. I don't know.
Natalie Viall
What do you have to say, Leia?
Justin
I don't know for sure, but does anyone think that Sierra might be doing this to make Wes jealous?
Victoria Fuller
Oh, now that is a plot twist.
Nick Viall
If so, I hate that because it's like, it's his friend.
Leia
And it's just like, Jesse's going hard, like, first.
Nick Viall
Yeah. And Jesse's doing it. So, like, if Wes was really good jealous, he would get. He would probably say something to Jesse and clearly they. Weston. Jesse are just like cuddle buddies. Like, they're. I don't. No, I don't think so at all.
Justin
I would do it. That's what I would do if I were Sierra, period.
Nick Viall
But you. It wouldn't be effective is what I'm saying.
Natalie Viall
Nick knows everything. You need to know this by now.
Victoria Fuller
He is a man and he has all male perspective for every male ever.
Nick Viall
Did I not say. I don't think, like, I.
Leia
The amount of women laughing right now.
Nick Viall
I will absolutely just go myself. For sure.
Natalie Viall
Justin is one of the girls.
Victoria Fuller
He is.
Nick Viall
I. I'm wrong, obviously. For sure.
Victoria Fuller
No, you're not. It's a good perspective.
Nick Viall
I just. Clearly Jesse and West are like, they're good to go.
Natalie Viall
Clearly. We're team girls and you're team guys.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah.
Nick Viall
I'm just off.
Victoria Fuller
I learned anything from this episode? Wow.
Nick Viall
God forbid. I just, like, point out possibly like a perspective devil's advocate, you know, Just.
Natalie Viall
You know, the devil doesn't need one at this point. Honestly.
Nick Viall
I'll be going 90 tonight. Yeah.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah.
Nick Viall
For sure.
Victoria Fuller
You will be going 100.
Natalie Viall
You will be going 110. Did you ever get into any housewives or are you strictly just summer housewives?
Victoria Fuller
No. Beverly Hills, for sure. Yeah, I. I started.
Natalie Viall
Stopped, but I just, like, it's boring.
Victoria Fuller
It is a little boring. And it's kind of the same thing over and over. Fan. But I love Kyle Richards.
Natalie Viall
I do, too.
Victoria Fuller
Just love her.
Natalie Viall
I do, too.
Victoria Fuller
They could never make me hate her.
Natalie Viall
I know. Do you? How are you feeling about her and Mo? Do you want them to get back together, or are you like. I'm kind of just like.
Victoria Fuller
I mean, of course I always want, like, a love story to work out, but, like, at this point, with everything that's come out and he's like an Aspen with the girls and they're in the bikinis, I'm like, I kind of just don't want that. But for their kids, I think it would be great for them to just have, like, a mom and dad that.
Nick Viall
Are together if we're gonna keep talking about them. One, like, kind of like, with Sierra and West, I kind of want to, like, I want them at least hook up.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah. She needs to, like, go over to Mo's place and, like, sexy time and show up.
Natalie Viall
We need, like, security camera footage of Kyle, like, entry into, like, his apartment.
Victoria Fuller
And she's wearing, like, a trench coat, and she has, like, really sexy lingerie, and she just, like, whips it off, and then she's like, a dominatrix, and she's like, get on your knees.
Natalie Viall
Oh, my Go.
Victoria Fuller
What do you guys think?
Natalie Viall
Yes. I agree.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah.
Nick Viall
Did you watch Mom Talk or Mormon Wives?
Natalie Viall
She's like, I haven't heard. What is that on?
Victoria Fuller
I have not heard it.
Nick Viall
Secret Lives of Mormon Lives.
Victoria Fuller
I didn't watch it.
Nick Viall
Oh, you need to.
Victoria Fuller
Okay. It's that I've heard mixed reviews. I'm not really into, you know, no offense. It is.
Natalie Viall
I think it's a little produced. I think these girls know what they're doing. I think they know how to get a second season.
Victoria Fuller
They want to be famous.
Natalie Viall
They want to be famous. It is Millie Bobby Brown's favorite reality TV show.
Victoria Fuller
So I will do anything she does. So I'll be watching.
Nick Viall
Okay.
Victoria Fuller
Because I love her.
Natalie Viall
Okay.
Nick Viall
I think it's really good.
Victoria Fuller
Okay. Are you.
Natalie Viall
So you're excited for the second season?
Nick Viall
Oh, I'm so excited.
Natalie Viall
Why do you think it's so good?
Nick Viall
Because I. I. I think they're professional TV makers.
Victoria Fuller
Because he loves drama.
Nick Viall
Well, look at him. I mean, listen, like, Bravo. It's like, you know, it's different than the Bachelor, you know, just the right reasons. And, like, you know, it's just like, on the Bachelor, there is this weird kind of, like, balance between making a TV show and real humans taking a shot at this crazy experience and, like, kind of, like falling in love but not knowing if it's real love or it's.
Victoria Fuller
You have no idea.
Nick Viall
You have no real idea. Like, and you're off the grid, and it's a social experiment, you know, and like, whether it's Bravo, Housewives, Summer House, Southern Charm, these are people just like making a TV show while also living their lives.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah, I do love that.
Nick Viall
And you have to be like, you just. You. You have to be a professional. Like, this is their, you know, I know, like, like Summer House. Like, we all pretend that, like, it's their job. Yeah. Like we. We like to pretend that, you know, like whether it's Kyle or Carl, you know, last season it was always like, you don't have a job. It's like he's a teacher, a TV.
Victoria Fuller
Star, he makes a lot of money to go film in the Hamptons, you.
Nick Viall
Know, like, they like to pretend that's not the case, but, like, it's going on. And the Mormon wives, like, they're professionals. They show up to work, they give their all.
Victoria Fuller
They are on set.
Nick Viall
They are. They are doing crazy that whether you think it's force produced or not, that they. It is like cops sometimes need to be called, you know, like, really, like.
Natalie Viall
These women's like, no, that was before.
Nick Viall
The show either way.
Natalie Viall
But that was just their.
Nick Viall
I also heard that next season, I heard that they're. It's so intense sense that, like, think about it. It's very costly for production crews to come set up, be there without it being, you know, filmed. And I, I heard that it's so intense and so messy that they had to like, stop down production for periods of time to let. Let some of these women kind of like reset, protect their mental health because they. It was so crazy and intense at times. And for it being a second season and production to be willing to like, cater to those needs means they're clearly getting excellent content.
Victoria Fuller
I agree. I mean, fuck, I'll watch it. Jesus.
Nick Viall
Just saying.
Leia
Did you see that the old. That mom talks going on? Vanderpump Villa and Stassi Schroeder tease. That shit goes down when they come to the Villa.
Natalie Viall
Yeah. Is that going to convince you to watch Vanderpump Villa?
Nick Viall
Probably not, no.
Leia
You're not going to watch the Mom Talk episode with Stacy?
Victoria Fuller
Why?
Nick Viall
That maybe, you know, H. I will be. I am. I'm not Team Lisa Vanderpump right now.
Victoria Fuller
I don't want to get into it. I feel like that's a whole other ball of wax.
Natalie Viall
Ball of wax.
Nick Viall
It is very waxy.
Natalie Viall

Nick Viall
I have a new Internet obsession. Did you like as tomorrow at all?
Victoria Fuller
Not no, it's not for me. But I could understand why people like it.
Nick Viall
There's this like creator online. Yeah, I don't know if like over the weekend it just like I I saw it and I was like, oh, this is kind of like I know I watched it like 10 times. And I'm like, why am I watching it? I'm kind of weirdly like, you're obsessed. You don't know why you're obsessed. This right here. Watch. Listen to this.
Victoria Fuller
Oh no.
Nick Viall
This shirtless. This man's life is obsessed. Heard those are really bad.
Leia
Why did he squeak for push ups?
Justin
What's on his nose?
Nick Viall
It's 4:40am he's journaling.
Natalie Viall
This is like your morning.
Justin
Oh no.
Victoria Fuller
It is my morning.
Justin
Is he. But it's sparkling water.
Victoria Fuller
I love him.
Nick Viall
Then he puts on his jewelry.
Victoria Fuller
Is he wearing a Van Cleef?
Natalie Viall
He needs his Rolex to tell the time when he's running.
Victoria Fuller
And his Van Cleef of.
Justin
Oh my God. This is more than I do in a year.
Victoria Fuller
He's done more in two hours than I've done in a week.
Justin
Is that a Zam pony?
Victoria Fuller
Wow.
Natalie Viall
We're only at 8:20am well, he's.
Nick Viall
He got up at 3. Watch this. My favorite part.
Justin
Did he just rip a banana peel?
Nick Viall
Wiping a banana peel on your face.
Natalie Viall
How many more I so looking at it, bro.
Nick Viall
We got to go ahead and get.
Victoria Fuller
In at least 10,000, kid.
Natalie Viall
What was he even talking about?
Nick Viall
I love. I was like a little insight into his work life.
Victoria Fuller
He's got a chef.
Nick Viall
Apparently he's.
Justin
He must be sponsored by that water.
Victoria Fuller
Who is this guy?
Nick Viall
Play. Play the. Play the Tr. Mary. Play the track video. That's how I discovered him.
Victoria Fuller
Who is this guy?
Nick Viall
Well, I don't know. He. He's been all over the Internet.
Victoria Fuller
It felt like he had butler.
Natalie Viall
Yeah, I feel like that was his girlfriend. That he does not share on social media.
Victoria Fuller
Yes.
Natalie Viall
Oh, and he's like I need your. I need your name nails to hand me this pole. This place.
Victoria Fuller
But we do not need your face.
Natalie Viall
So we absolutely will not be posting.
Nick Viall
His name's Ashton.
Victoria Fuller
Ashton.
Nick Viall
Well, at least give him cred.
Victoria Fuller
You know, I would say Ashton is probably 5 11.
Nick Viall
Internet says he's 5 7.
Victoria Fuller

Nick Viall
He's like, something I would never like. He's. Oh, he's like, I don't wear board shorts because the guy was wearing board shorts. But he lives in this tiny house, and he also drives a Ferrari. Like, all these guys live in a. Like, if you live in an apartment.

Why are you driving a $200,000 car?
Natalie Viall

This one. This is how I discovered this, man.
Justin
Oh, lemon water.

Now it's lemon. Lemons. Like, what is dressing like guys? Like, what is that? I think it's a thing for running.
Leia
Oh, I thought that was, like, a heart monitor.
Justin
No socks.
Natalie Viall
No socks.
Victoria Fuller
No socks is nuts.
Nick Viall
I do want that bag. I do want that bag.
Victoria Fuller
We love the Gary.
Leia
This next sponsorship needs to be for security.
Nick Viall
He has a friend posting.

Rolls Royce. A Rolls Royce. Royce.
Nick Viall
That's his camera crew now. He's getting ready to work out.
Victoria Fuller

He's just running sprints, apparently. Fashion of the car.
Justin
He's definitely sponsored by that water.
Natalie Viall
Oh, he's meeting his fans.
Nick Viall
He just.
Victoria Fuller
I mean, the man is a man. That body.
Nick Viall
Yeah. Well, anyways, I'm obsessed.
Natalie Viall
But Also, him being 57 is definitely.
Victoria Fuller
There's no.
Nick Viall
You never know what to believe. On the.
Justin
He does lifestyle coaching.
Nick Viall
Oh, he does lifestyle coaching. Coaching.
Victoria Fuller
That's kind of on point for him, I guess.
Nick Viall
Yeah, that's. He. That's. That tracks.
Natalie Viall
Yeah, that was the. That was the.
Victoria Fuller
That is a lifestyle, and that plan is a lifestyle.
Natalie Viall
It's like he was telling the little. The. The younger kids who came up to him, like, man, just like, believe in your dreams. Like, that was his.
Nick Viall
Like, yeah, we got to get 10,000 more. Whatever.
Natalie Viall
Did you hear on Bachelor when Grant was like, my dad gave me some really good advice. He told me to follow my heart. Like, oh, that's what he gave you?
Victoria Fuller
Period. Okay.
Natalie Viall
He said, and that's what I'm gonna do. Oh, thank God your dad told you that.
Victoria Fuller
Well, thank God you're going with your heart.
Natalie Viall
Like, my dad gave me really good advice.
Victoria Fuller
Go with my heart.
Nick Viall
Well, his friend might have said, trust your gut, and it's like, which one?
Victoria Fuller
Yeah, we could get into that, but I Don't think you should trust your gut.
Natalie Viall
You don't really trust your gut. You think your gut lies to you.
Victoria Fuller
I do. I think your gut is a survival thing. So when you've grown up in trauma, sometimes your gut isn't actually accurate.
Nick Viall
I would disagree.
Victoria Fuller
No, I mean, it's actually a good thing. I talked to my therapist about it.
Natalie Viall
It's actually like. Yeah, it's actually, like, studied.
Victoria Fuller
But I think you can have intuition where you're like, I don't think this situation's right for me. But sometimes our gut isn't always telling us.
Nick Viall
I think your body knows. And I think we are so good at lying to ourselves and not listening to our body or our gut. And, like. And that's the thing that you're calling your gut is the thing. It's the voice that says, says there's that part of you that says something's going on. And then you're like, no, that's crazy. I don't want to be neurotic. I'm nervous, you know? Like, I don't want to maybe, you know, but that one. That. There's always something that says, I don't know.
Victoria Fuller
I don't know.
Nick Viall
I think when you find out to be. When you find out when you're blind, whatever it is, you're. You get some news and you're, you know, like, you never. You're. Are you totally always just being, like, totally 100 blindsided, or is there a part of you that's says, you know, that. That one part, that.
Victoria Fuller
That.
Nick Viall
That felt a little off, and I just kind of ignored it because I didn't want to seem crazy and I don't want to, like, I didn't want to be the neurotic person. I don't want to, like, you know.
Victoria Fuller
Maybe I think other people are blindsided.
Natalie Viall
Maybe also maybe not agree to disagree, period.
Nick Viall
Period.
Natalie Viall
What else do we have?
Justin

Natalie Viall

Natalie Viall
A great like mentor though.
Nick Viall
Yeah.
Victoria Fuller
Like, I don't even think it's bad.

Victoria Fuller
Yeah. He's like, I want to be, I want to be a country music star. I'd be like, okay, if I'm gonna.
Nick Viall
Give advice for a living outside of an Ass Nick episode on a podcast, I'm gonna go to school and become a therapist.
Victoria Fuller
I think that would be great.
Nick Viall
I'm not going to call myself a.
Natalie Viall
A lifestyle coach and start selling like CDs and like, yeah.
Nick Viall
And videos of my day with ASMR.
Victoria Fuller
Could you imagine? I could see it. Honestly, I would giggle.
Nick Viall
Do you deep down hate me?
Victoria Fuller
No. No. I love you, but I can kind of see it. Couldn't you see him doing that?
Natalie Viall
No. God, no. God.
Nick Viall
Cuz I wouldn't be motivational. I'd be like, that's what you do.
Victoria Fuller
No, his ego wouldn't allow him. But if, again, if all of this would allow away and he had to.
Natalie Viall
Find something, I think you would, I think you would go back to school and you'd become a therapist. Actual thing you would do. And I think I would struggle if you were like, I want to be a dj. I think I'm going to be a singer and a background dancer.
Nick Viall
I can't, I can't. Sing, but I can't dance. What if.
Victoria Fuller
Oh, no, I don't like a hip hop dancer.
Natalie Viall
What if I.
Victoria Fuller
And he, like, goes to him, 9pm he's like, Hey, I gotta.
Nick Viall
I love Clayton Eckhart. I'm like, hey, can I join?
Natalie Viall
No. Yeah, I could. Not if you start posting videos like that.
Justin
He's getting really good.
Nick Viall
He is getting good. I. You know.
Natalie Viall
You know, he went through a lot of trauma at this point.
Victoria Fuller
I thought we were done. Hang up the ballet shoes.
Nick Viall
You got to find your thing.
Natalie Viall
They're not valet shoes or Jordans. Yeah, he's hip hopping.

Nick Viall
No. It's like, I look back and I was like, well, this is. I didn't even know what icks were at this point. Like, I didn't. It wasn't like a Internet thing. And I looked and. And that. That was like.
Natalie Viall
The sex was that good that I was like, I can look past it.
Nick Viall
That wasn't. That. That was a different friend.
Victoria Fuller
A different friend. So this has been multiple times.
Nick Viall
That's what I made Natalie do.
Victoria Fuller
There are things that men should not do. Roller skating is one of them. That's for you. That's for the girls.
Nick Viall
Yeah, but I'm gonna do it with my daughter.
Natalie Viall
Yeah, look at it. I recorded that.
Justin
Victoria, we went roller skating for our Christmas.
Victoria Fuller
What? Disgusting.
Natalie Viall
I'm crying behind the camera and I'm questioning. I just want to know why you're.
Victoria Fuller
So good at it.
Nick Viall
Because I've been roller skating since I was like, three.
Victoria Fuller
So they just put you a roller skate lesson.
Natalie Viall

Victoria Fuller
It's a big fat ick.
Natalie Viall
Yeah. And thank God, nowadays, if he's like, well, yeah. I'm like, I can't.
Nick Viall
When I put on roller skates, I feel free. I just. I love it. I love rolling around and dancing on wheels. I know. It's disgusting.
Natalie Viall
No, no, no.
Victoria Fuller
Honestly, you're kind of. You're. You're. Yeah, you're touching my heart a little bit over there.
Nick Viall
And you know what I did? I went to the YouTube Creator Summit.
Victoria Fuller
Okay.
Nick Viall
And as a. As. I'm sorry, baby.
Victoria Fuller
And I am so sorry, baby.
Nick Viall
I Didn't see your hand as like a group activity for like bonding. They went roller skating. So I, I went roller skating.
Victoria Fuller
And you're like. And I did show off my skills.
Natalie Viall
I was the first one there and.
Victoria Fuller
I was last to leave.
Nick Viall
No, I don't get like I, I, I don't give a fuck. Like when the one time before I met Natalie, I have a friend friend of dear friends of mine are friends with Emma Stone name drop. And she, she hosted a fundraiser that also include roller skating. So I was through friends invited to such.
Natalie Viall
They're like, who would want to do this?
Nick Viall
And I was, I was literally just by myself dancing on the skating rink. And everyone's like, what is that Nick Sebastian? Like what the fuck is going on?
Victoria Fuller
Wait, it's one of those things. It's one of those moments where like Nick thinks he's so cool and he's like killing it everyone like, wait, but why Stone?
Nick Viall
Out of my mind. And then I had a friend, I had a, my friend who's also there. Friends with my friends got invited. She was there with her boyfriend and the I believe the Ham sisters were there. It was the stars, you know, and wow. And we were in this like VIP Hollywood.
Natalie Viall
Don't you forget it.
Nick Viall
We were in this VIP group because of just through friends. I was just, I was just a tag along and, and, and my, our friend, mutual friend friend. Her boyfriend was there and she was breaking up with her boyfriend at this event. They got in a fight and I went to my friend and I sat down next to her and pat her on the back. Also Brie Larson was there. Captain Marvel Oscar award winning actor.
Victoria Fuller
I'm terrible with names, but keep going.
Nick Viall
I came over to consult my friend and I believe and Brie Larson and the Haim sisters thought that was my girlfriend. And then because, and then I wanted to go back and roll skating. And so I like patted my friend on the back and went and just started skating again. And like Brie Larson thought I had broken up with my girlfriend and just said and patted her like on the shoulder. She would thought she was witnessing like me being an absolute monster.
Victoria Fuller
Wow, so she hated you.
Nick Viall
Well, I know she asked our friends like, is that I like dating? And then my friends were like, no, that's not.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah, okay, good. And he's like, hey, I gotta get out back out there, but good luck out there.
Natalie Viall
The skates are getting dry.
Nick Viall
Anyways, back to the I. When I went roller skating a couple months ago, I thought to myself, you know what I get to do this with my daughter in a couple years.
Victoria Fuller
And that is a full circle moment.
Nick Viall
Now.
Victoria Fuller
I like you again.
Nick Viall
Thank you.
Victoria Fuller
And I don't think you're a creep.
Natalie Viall
Whirlwind roller coaster you went on.
Nick Viall
Thank you for fighting for us after that.
Victoria Fuller
I did.
Natalie Viall
I did. And she did and I did. I think it was one of those things where it's like you just kind of block it out, you know, I was like, trauma. It was trauma, and I lived through it. And then I blocked it out and I said, I will never think about that again. Again, ever, Ever. And I didn't.
Victoria Fuller
And she made me.
Natalie Viall
And then you made. And then you made me shave your head to do that bit on Instagram. The talking with you during COVID And I, like, loved your hair so much. And you're like, I think I want to shave it. And I was like, yeah, great. I did.
Nick Viall
You told me it was hot. You told me it was hot. In fact, I remember specifically, if we want to get real, tmi, you looking up at me and going, that's. Your hair looks so good.
Victoria Fuller
Your lack of hair looks so hot.
Nick Viall
I buzzed it.
Victoria Fuller
She's like, your bald head. So good.
Nick Viall
Is that a bal spot?
Victoria Fuller
I hate that I see her kids.
Natalie Viall
Rocking back and forth.
Nick Viall
She was like, I think you need to go to Turkey.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah. Yeah. And we will be going to Turkey after this.
Natalie Viall

Leia
I don't know. I didn't check the comments. I haven't been back to that video. I've. I've scrubbed that from my mind.
Victoria Fuller

Natalie Viall
I didn't realize, but when we were talking to Ari Shafara about sex.
Nick Viall
Oh, anal sex.
Victoria Fuller
Anal sex.
Natalie Viall
And I said. And I said, I thought you lost your anal virginity to me. Sierra thought I was pegging you.
Victoria Fuller
Oh, my God.
Nick Viall
It came out.
Natalie Viall
And I was like, oh, my God. No.
Nick Viall
People think you're real kinky. Wow.
Natalie Viall
Wow.
Leia
Didn't you lose your analogy?
Natalie Viall
I wonder if Mari thought that as well. And he was just, like, so uncomfortable.
Nick Viall
That's why he said we were his favorite married couple. That makes sense.
Victoria Fuller
Wowie.
Natalie Viall
Wow.
Victoria Fuller
Wow. And here we are.
Natalie Viall
Yeah.
Nick Viall
Well, that.
Natalie Viall
Is that about it?
Victoria Fuller
Well, I don't know.
Nick Viall
Still not as crazy as the White Lotus, which you haven't.

Victoria Fuller
The typical Nick question. How's your heart? So I hate this special.
Nick Viall
Going deeper. Every episode starts now.
Natalie Viall
I literally have left the building. He has locked me out of his conversation now. Going deeper as Nick.
Nick Viall
So we're going to get 10,000. Yeah.
Victoria Fuller
You. You turned your body. I. I know what's going on here. My heart is good. I'm going on a date this week. Weekend.
Natalie Viall
Do we, like, Are we, like, dating apps these days or are we, like, staying off? It's not friends only who are, like, coordinating this.
Victoria Fuller
I don't do.
Nick Viall
How do you. Yeah, how do you meet people?
Victoria Fuller
You know what's so funny is everyone's like, oh, the dating scene sucks. And I just. I will say I get pretty lucky. Yeah. So I'm going on a date on next weekend.
Nick Viall
Is he older, younger? Same age?
Natalie Viall
I hope he. I'm. Please tell me he's in his 40s.

Victoria Fuller
No.
Nick Viall
Is he younger?
Victoria Fuller
Younger?
Natalie Viall
She's for the. She's the cougar these days.
Victoria Fuller
I'm kind of into. Kind of into it lately. Call me Jennifer Cooley. Yeah. So he's younger and, like, super athletic. He may dabble in the athletics department. He may or may not be in the athletics department.
Natalie Viall
Wait, so how are. How are you meeting people these days? It's mutual friends being, like. Mutual friends.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah. It's so weird. It's like I've gotten so lucky with that. I've never had to get on a date.
Nick Viall
It is a first date.
Victoria Fuller
It is.
Nick Viall
Have we. Have we. How much have we talked with the date? Is it. Are we. How blind are we going in? Are we or texting?
Victoria Fuller
We're semi acquainted. He called me the other day and we talked for an hour and 17 minutes and I wasn't even annoyed.
Nick Viall
Did he. Did he. Did he like, hey, I'd love to call you? Or did he just randomly call you and just thought maybe she'll pick up? Because, like, that's considered psycho behavior in 2025.
Victoria Fuller
It is true. No, he texted me and he had a two and a half hour drive.
Natalie Viall
From somewhere to somewhere.
Victoria Fuller
Somewhere to somewhere. And he was like, I would love if you could keep me some company. Yeah. And I was like, you're like, I.
Natalie Viall
And I canceled all of my plans.
Victoria Fuller
I was like, I'll allow it. And then I'm like, oh, God, what do I do? Like, so awkward. Like, I gotta take A shower.
Natalie Viall
And did the conversation flow, or was it a little.
Nick Viall
Did you, like, play I Spy? As he drove, he was like, I.
Natalie Viall
See Alabama license plate.
Victoria Fuller
No, we did not play I Spy.
Natalie Viall
Thank you.
Victoria Fuller
But we. No, it wasn't awkward at first. I think he felt, like, a little awkward. But he was really sweet. He, like, I was staying in over the weekend, and I didn't go out. And he was like, am I on speakerphone? And I was like, because he knows Buxton and Cash, my two dogs. And he was like, all right. Buxton and Cash. Like, thank you for letting me steal your mom for a little bit. It was really sweet. He knows the way to my heart. Yeah.
Natalie Viall
Okay.
Victoria Fuller
Cute. Yeah.
Natalie Viall
What are you gonna wear?
Victoria Fuller
Haven't figured it out yet. We're going to dinner.
Nick Viall
A full dinner.
Victoria Fuller
So it's dinner one night, and then the next day we're doing a whole activity together all day. We're going to the Miami Open, and. And.
Nick Viall
Oh, that makes sense.
Natalie Viall
I feel like you've been going to a lot of tennis events recently.
Victoria Fuller
Have I?
Natalie Viall
I don't know. Weren't you in At. In the New York one?
Victoria Fuller
Oh, yeah, the U.S. open.
Natalie Viall
Yeah, of course, the New York Open.
Victoria Fuller
The Miami Open. Yeah.
Nick Viall
Do you know how to score in tennis?
Victoria Fuller
What do you mean?
Nick Viall
Do you know how to. Do you know how they keep score in tennis?
Natalie Viall
When you hit it out of the bounds?
Victoria Fuller
Yeah.
Nick Viall
What's zero? Zero.
Victoria Fuller
What? Wait, what? Love. Serving love.
Nick Viall
Yeah.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah.
Nick Viall
Okay.
Victoria Fuller
Are you trying to trick me?
Nick Viall
I'm just asking if you know, because I do. It seems like you might need to know.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah, I mean, I think I. I. Yeah.
Natalie Viall
I know nothing about tennis. That is. That is most confusing.
Nick Viall
What's one score?
Victoria Fuller
One's 10 points. And it goes up to 40.
Nick Viall
It's 15.
Victoria Fuller
Oh, 15. Yeah. And then it goes up to 40.
Nick Viall
And then if you're tied, why couldn't.
Natalie Viall
We just do one point? Deuce.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah.
Justin
What's a bird?
Nick Viall
It makes no sense. What?
Justin
A birdie.
Nick Viall
A birdie.
Victoria Fuller
Oh, that's. That's actually golf.
Nick Viall
Got it. Okay. Different sport.
Victoria Fuller
She's like, yes, of course.
Natalie Viall
Yes. A hawk.
Nick Viall
And how optimistic are we about said date?
Victoria Fuller
Here's the thing. I think people are very interested in people's love lives when they get off the show and they get very wrapped up and they're like, oh, my God, like, she's dating somebody else now.
Nick Viall
And we're very appreciative of you because we're so invested in it.
Victoria Fuller
It's the gift that keeps giving. Yeah. But I think it's just funny because, like, I can go on a date and it just be a date. It doesn't have to be like, oh, we're getting married, or I can date people and it not work out. And it doesn't mean that there's anything wrong with me or anything wrong with him.
Nick Viall
Absolutely.
Victoria Fuller
I just wanted to put that out there because I know people get very invested in this, and they're like, wow. And I get it. Like, trust me, I want it to.
Natalie Viall
Work out, too, guys.
Nick Viall
But we go in with a level of like.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah.
Nick Viall
Or real promising stuff.
Victoria Fuller
Yeah.
Nick Viall
He thanked my dogs.
Victoria Fuller
Yes. He thanked my dogs. And now we are engaged.
Natalie Viall
Yes.
Victoria Fuller
So we will be getting married.
Natalie Viall
Yes, of course.
Victoria Fuller
But no, he's. He's a really good guy, and I'm excited to learn more about.
Nick Viall
Learn more about when he's on tour. Are you sending him videos of, like, ways to make your potential relationship work?
Natalie Viall
No, because she's going on tour as well.
Victoria Fuller
Yes. And I will be on the world.
Natalie Viall
Tour with him on the tour bus.
Victoria Fuller
There is no tour bus.
Nick Viall
When. When do we get to meet?
Victoria Fuller
There is a plane.
Natalie Viall
So there is a plane, a tour plane, a planet. And when do we get to meet him?
Victoria Fuller
Yeah.
Natalie Viall
So if it all goes well, do you think initiation.
Nick Viall
Do you think. Let me ask you this through Nick. Let me ask you this based on how you feel, where things stand now. Not to put. What are our chances that we actually meet this guy?
Victoria Fuller
I would say 50. 50.
Nick Viall
Okay.
Victoria Fuller
At the moment, they're pretty good odds.
Nick Viall
Pretty good. 50.
Victoria Fuller
50 is pretty good.
Natalie Viall
Like, would he want to, like, double date with us maybe?
Victoria Fuller
Yeah, for sure. He would. Definitely. He's. Yeah. I met him through a mutual friend, and her husband is in the same field. Field. Profession, if you will. Career and career path. Yes, of course. And so she. It's so funny. They, like, were hanging out and he was playing with her baby, and she was like. Immediately, for some reason, she, like, thought about me, and she was like. She messaged him after he left her house, and she's like, you're a really great guy. I love the way that you, like, hung out with my daughter, and you were so good with her. And I have, like, a friend that I really, really want you to meet. I think you'd really like her. And this was before she even told me, and he was like, yeah, I would love to. Da, da, da. They talked about me, and then she ended up telling me afterwards, and she was like, I had a really great conversation with Blank, and I think you guys would Be really great for each other.
